Effect of Oil Palm Cultivation on the Micronutrient Status of Soils in a Coastal Plain Sands Area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria

Chukwu E. D*, B. T. Udoh, Nnabuihe, E, Okoli N. H, Osisi A. F

High levels of micronutrients may cause metabolic disorders and become growth inhibitors to most plant species. Therefore, the study assessed the levels of micronutrients in soils under oil palm cultivation in a coastal plain sands area of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Three oil palm blocks of varying ages, l7 years (B-17), 39 years (B-39) and 57 years...

Influence of Oil Palm Cultivation on Topsoil Properties in Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research, Akwa Ibom State

Chukwu E. D*, B. T. Udoh, Afangide, A. I, Osisi A. F

The thin layer of soil covering the surface of the earth represents the difference between survival and extinction for most land-based life. Four oil palm blocks of varying ages: 57 years (B-57), 39 years (B-39), 17 years (B-17), and no oil palm block (B-0), which served as the control, were identified and used for the study. The result showed that...

Ammonium Sorption Characteristics of Soils of Coastal Plain Sand in Owerri West Imo State

Osisi A. F*, Azu, Donatus E.O, Agim, L.C, Chukwu E. D

Information on the ammonium sorption capacity of soils is very crucial in the development of sound ammonium fertilization and management. This study was therefore carried out to determine the ammonium sorption characteristics of soils of coastal plain sand formation in Owerri West LGA of Imo State. Samples were collected from three locations (FUTO,...
