Effect of Tillage and Maize - Cowpea Intercrop on Fractal Features of Particle and Aggregate Size Distribution on a Tropical Sandy Loam Soil in Southwest Nigeria

ADESODUN Johnson Kayode*, Udom B. E., Adekunle A. O, Adejuyigbe C. O.,, Atayese M. O., Olowokere F. A., Mbila M., Oyegoke, C.O,

The effects of tillage and cropping pattern on soil aggregation, fractal dimensions and distribution of organic carbon fractions were studied. Treatments were no- tillage (NT), conventional tillage (CT), and four cropping patterns viz: sole maize, sole cowpea, maize-cowpea intercrops and control (no crop). Soil samples were analysed for particle si...

Soil Organic Carbon Fractions and Aggregation of a Tropical Alfisol as Affected by Plant Residues

ADESODUN Johnson Kayode*, Udom B. E., Abudu O. S., Adejuyigbe C. O.,, Enikuomehin O. A, Thannia B. M, Oke O. O., Olowokere F. A., Oyegoke, C.O,, Mbila M.

Incorporation of plant residues into soil plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of fragile tropical soils. This study evaluated the short-term effect of plant residues of different quality on organic carbon (OC) fractions, carbon management indices and stability of a sandy loam soil with low (< 2%) initial OC content. The residues are Banana ...
