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...

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 ...
