Characterization and Identification of Contemporary Diagnostic (b) Horizons of Some Soils in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State Southeastern Nigeria

Most soils in Nigeria have not been characterized and classified based on diag- nostic B horizon and identification of diagnostic B horizon is essential in the study of soils. As a result, this study was carried out to characterize and classify these soils with special emphasis on the identification of diagnostic B- horizons. A free survey method w...

Variability of Micronutrient Status and Hazard Potential in Soils of Six Mapping Units Within Eastern Part of Kogi State, Nigeria

Micronutrient imbalance in some soils is a major challenge for cultivation of crops. Hence the need to assess their status and variability in agricultural soils. The aim of this research was to assess the micro-nutrient status, variability and hazard potential in some soils within eastern part of kogi state of Nigeria. Six mapping units, 2a, 17a, 1...

Influence of Tillage - Seedbed and Manure - Npk - Micronutrient Management Options on Selected Soil Properties of Sandy - Loam Ultisols Evaluated Using Sweet Potato

Obalum S.E*, , Ogumba P.O., Uzoh I .N

This study assessed the effects of tillage and nutrient management practices on selected soil properties of degraded coarse-textured Ultisols and responses of sweet potato in Nsukka, southeastern Nigeria. It involved three tillage-seedbed types viz zero-tilled flatbed (ZT-FB), conventionally tilled-flatbed (CT-FB) and conventionally tilled tie-ridg...

Effect of Land Use Type on Organic C, Physical Properties and Stability Indices of Soils in Nanka Area, Southeast Nigeria

Uzoh I .N*, Igwenagu C.M, Obalum S.E

This study was conducted in Ifite-Nanka, Orumba North L.G.A. in Anambra state, Nigeria. The aim of the research was to evaluate the effect of three land use types on soil organic carbon (SOC) and physical properties and to determine the factors that contributed to the stability of the eroded sites. Horizon variability of these soil parameters was a...

Soil Organic Matter and Its Active Pools as Affected by Legume/cereal Cropping Systems Under Some Agronomic Practices in the Derived Savannah Zone of Nigeria

Uzor, I. M*, Ezepue, G.U.C

Introduction of grain legumes facilitates farmers’ acceptance in adopting legume cropping system. This study evaluated effect of four cropping systems on soil organic carbon (SOC), total vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) spore count, soil microbial biomass carbon (SMBC), soil microbial biomass nitrogen (SMBN) and soil microbial biomass phosphor...
