Effect of Simulated Acid Rain on Growth and Micronutrient Uptake of Okra (abelmoschus Esculentus) on Coastal Plain Sands in Abia State, South - Eastern, Nigeria

Eteng, E.U*, Essien G. E

The study was conducted in April 2019 at Umudike to examine the impact of simulated acid rain (SAR) and frequency of SAR spray on growth and micronutrients content of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) in an ultisol at Umudike. The treatments consisted of three (3) pH levels: Coca-cola solution (pH 2.7) and SAR (pH 3.5 and 5.5) as well as co...

Effects of Parent Material and Land Use on the Variability of Available Cu in a Wetland Soil Under Long - Term Farming System

Eteng, E.U*

The study was carried out in the dry season to evaluate the variation in available Cu in wetland soil under long-term farming systems. Twenty four surface (0-20 cm) composite soil samples of acidic nature were obtained and analyzed for available Cu in the soils using five extractants (0.01M HCl, Coca-cola, 0.05M EDTA, 0.05M DTPA, and 1N NH4OAc) res...
