Characterization, Classification and Suitability Evaluation of Soils on Three Geological Formations in Nsukka Area of Enugu State for Pepper Production

Umeugokwe C. P*, Ajoagu, G.M, Asadu Charles Livinus

This study aimed to characterize, classify, and evaluate the soils on three geological formations in Nsukka, Eastern Nigeria for pepper production. The geological formations included Upper Coal Measure (UCM), False Bedded Sandstone (FBS), and Nkporo Shale (NS). Three pedons were excavated to represent each of these geological formations. Soil prope...

Agronomic Potentials of Boiler Ash Derived from Oil Palm Wastes as Fertilizer, Soil Amendment, and Liming Materials

Ezema Raymond Anikwe*, Asadu Charles Livinus, N. A. Onunka, Ifejimalu, A. C

One potential problem with recycling power plant ashes is its variability both from fuel to fuel and within a certain fuel-type. This study obtained information on the main components of ashes derived from burning oil palm mill wastes in boilers for energy generation to obtain reference data for the development of its utility possibilities with par...

Characterization and Classification of Rice - Growing Soils on Igbaku Sandstones Residua and Current Suitability for Rice Production in Anambra State, Eastern Nigeria

Asadu Charles Livinus*, Onyeme E

"The soils on Igbaku sandstones residua were sample at Ifite Ogwari in Anambra state Nigeria to characterize, classify and evaluate their current suitability for rice production. Following several auger borings, a modal profile was sited dug, de- scribed and sampled. Data from it and representative auger points are presented. The soils generally be...

Influence of Forms of Iron and Manganese Oxides on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Soils Formed Over Mica - Schist in a Northern Guinea Savanna, Nigeria

Kefas, P. K*, Abdulrashid Shobayo Babatunde, Ofem, K.I, Akwoga, J.A, Asadu Charles Livinus, Peter I. Ezeaku

Three forms of oxides of iron and manganese were evaluated on soils developed in mica-schist lithology within the basement complex formation of Taraba State, North-eastern Nigeria. The results from the three oxide forms namely, pyrophos- phate extractable (Mnp/Fep), oxalate extractable (Mnox/Feox) and citrate- bicarbonate-dithionite extractable (Mn...

Comparison of the Characteristics of Soils of Isolated Forests and Adjacent Grasslands in Nsukka Area of Enugu State, Nigeria

Asadu Charles Livinus*, Odugu C.

The soils of isolated forests on hilltops and the surrounding grasslands in three locations at Ashor Hill, AttabaHill, and Umuowo Hill, all in Nsukka area were comparatively characterized. Two auger samples were collected (0-20 and 20-40cm) from each vegetation type per location giving a total of 12 auger samples while two profiles pit each were du...

Physicochemical Properties of an Alfisol Under Fallow and Adjacent Forest Lands and Their Suitability for Cocoyam, Pigeon Pea and Sweet Potato Production in Nsukka, Southeastern Nigeria

Ugadu, M.E*, Asadu Charles Livinus

Forest land provides a wide range of ecosystem services such as reducing the impact of raindrops on the soil and maintenance of soil fertility, whereas fallowing is one method used in restoring the fertility status of degraded farmlands. This study evaluated the physicochemical properties of an Alfisol under fallow and adjacent forestland, and thei...
