Characterization, Taxonomic and Fertility Capability Classification of Some Soils in the Teaching and Research Farm of Taraba State University, Jalingo

, Ezeaku, P.I.*, Kefas, P. K, Hashim, S.A.,, Ali I J, Gisilanbe S A, Kussy J J, Garpiya B. T, Yusuf B, Udoh S, Ezeaku, V. I

Result-oriented and competitive agricultural production system requires soil characterization and land evaluation. The soils of the Teaching and Research Farm of Taraba State University were characterized, taxonomically classified and evaluated for fertility capability classification. Three mapping units were delineated using a semi-detailed survey...

Influence of Land Use on Soil Physiochemical Properties in Semi - Humid Nsukka Area of Southeast - Ern Nigeria

Umeobi E. C*, , Ezeaku, P.I., Umeugokwe C. P, Ezeaku, V. I

The influence of four land uses (cultivated arable land, grassland, oil palm planta- tion and rubber plantation) on physical and chemical properties of coarse- textured acid soils was assessed in the semi-humid Nsukka area. Soil auger and core samples were used to achieve surface sampling at the depth intervals of 0-20 and 20-40cm in each land use ...

Suitability of Urban Waste Land Use in Relation to Heavy Metal and Micronutrient Influence on Soil and Green Amaranth Production in Southeast Nigeria

Ezeifeka A.O*, , Ezeaku, P.I., Ezeaku, V. I, Anikwe M. A. N, Kefas, P. K, Ofem, K.I

An assessment of the impact of long term (>20 years) MSW disposal on soil properties and their suitability for crop productivity was carried out in Anambra and Enugu States of southeast Nigeria. Four dumpsites were selected (two in each state) and, 12 soil auger samples (2 sampling points at 3 depths and 2 repeated measures) each were collected at ...

Influence of Granulometric Composition and Organic Matter Management on Soil Stability Against Water Erosion in Southeastern Nigeria

Ezeaku, V. I*, Sunday Ewele OBALUM, , Ezeaku, P.I., Igwe C. A

The study investigated the influence of granulometric composition and organic matter on soil stability and eroded sediment under simulated rainfall for some soils from southeastern Nigeria. The experiment was conducted at the Glasshouse of the Department of Soil Science, University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN). The experimental design was a 3 x 3 factor...
