Micronutrient Status of Grain Size Fractions in Soils of Land Uses in Mbano, Southeastern, Nigeria

Bethel Ugochukwu Uzoho*, Irokwe I. F.

Micronutrient status in grain size fractions provides information on the active soil fraction and the ability for stabilization against microbial decomposition. Total, available, exchangeable and water-soluble Fe, Zn,Cu and Mn in bulk and grain size soil fractions were evaluated in three landuse types (Cassava, Cashew and Oil palm) in Ehime Mbano, ...

Status of Available Micronutrients in Soil Profiles of Different Parent Materials in Imo State, Southeastern, Nigeria

The status of available Zn, Cu, Ni and Fe was studied in four representative soil profiles of different parent materials (Coastal Plain Sands, Alluvium, Falsebedded Sandstones and Imo Clay Shale) in Imo State, Southeastern Nigeria. Sample collection was guided by horizon differentiation. Available Zn, Cu, Ni and Fe were evaluated using double acid ...

Forms of Primary Nutrient Elements in Soils Overlying Contrasting Parent Materials in South - Eastern Nigeria

Appropriate management of soil fertility should rely upon sound knowledge of the nutrients reserve and their availability. This is only possible if there is adequate information on the influence of parent material on the dynamics and availability of these nutrient elements. Research was carried out in 2014 at three locations underlain by three diff...
