Use of Point - Based Pedotransfer Function to Predict Field Capacity of the Soil in Nsukka Area, Southeast Nigeria

Obidike-Ugwu E. O.^*, M.E. Obi, Anikwe M. A. N

Point-based pedotransfer functions are attractive for modelling soil water content, however, they have not been widely applied to predict field capacity (FC) of weathered tropical ultisols. Determination of field capacity at Nsukka area, was carried out using field and laboratory methods. Soils in the location were gravelly (Plots E and F) while ot...

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 ...

Short - Term Effect of Soil Tillage and Npk Fertilization Rates on Soil Carbon Sequestration and Yield of Colocasia Esculenta Schott in Two Micro - Environments in Se, Nigeria

Anikwe M. A. N^*, Ikengannyia E. E

Quantification of soil organic carbon cycling as impacted by soil and crop man- agement practices is required for C storage and soil quality improvement investi- gations. This study assessed the short-term effect of conventional tillage (CT) and No-Tillage (NT) practices on SOC sequestration and yield of cocoyam (Colocasia esculenta). The experimen...

Influence of Lime and Gypsum Application on Soil Properties and Tuber Initiation of Cassava(manihot Esculenta Crantz.) in a Degraded Ultisols in Agbani, Enugu Southeastern Nigeria

EZE J.C.^*, Anikwe M. A. N, IBUDIALO A.N

The experiment was carried out to examine the influence of Lime and Gypsum on soil physicochemical properties in a degraded ultisol during 2013 and 2014 Rainy season in Agbani, Enugu Southeastern Nigeria (60 29’N and 70 54’E). A Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) using Lime and Gypsum as treatments at the rate of Lime 5000 kgha-1, Gypsum 2500 ...
