ABSTRACT Micronutrients are essential for good crop performance. There is little or no quantitative data on the content and distribution of micronutrients in soils of Imo State, particularly those derived from coastal plain sand parent material. Horizon differences in soils influence ability of crops to obtain nutrients and indeed support other uses. The study aimed at investigating the micronutrient (Cu, Mn, Fe, Zn) contents of horizons of two different pedons ...

ABSTRACT The effect of crude oil contaminated soil on physical and biochemical properties of beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) was investigated. Thirty polythene pots, each containing 10 kg of surface soil, were randomly placed on a table in the screenhouse in a factorial combination of five treatment levels (0.4%, 0.3%, 0.2%, 0.1% and 0% w/w) of crude oil and were designated P4, P3, P2, P1 and P0respectively. Three seeds of beans per ...

ABSTRACT This study was carried out on the influence of fertilization type and methods of application on nutrient uptake and yield of maize. The growth and yield of maize cultivated with a complementary application of organic and inorganic fertilizers was assessed compared with sole organic and sole inorganic fertilizers between April and July 2017 and 2018 at Ibadan, Nigeria, in the degraded tropical rain forest zone. There was a no-fertilizer ...
