The organic C content in South soils was therefore quantified using existing data with reference to master horizon classification and -forming factors. Data from 7079 profiles covering the whole of South , including land type survey modal profiles and profiles from other surveys, were used in this study.

In practice this is not strictly correct. Profile analyses of South soils classified with an E horizon (higher Munsell colour value) indicate that 50% of the E horizons have more clay than the overlying A horizon, 40% have more sesquioxides and 20% have more organic carbon (Land Type Survey Staff 2007 ).

Abstract. This paper defines tillage, indicating that as it is mostly a physical concern of the , it has not been studied as much as chemically related properties. Tillage in shifting cultivation is also reviewed. Different tillage systems in a number of east Countries namely Tanzania, Malawi, Botswana, Kenya, Zambia and Uganda ...

farmers desperate for fresh are clearing fragile forestlands and wildlife habitat. Roy added that only 4% of arable land is irrigated, so water-supply problems also need to be addressed. The report will be presented at an Fertilizer Summit to be held in Abuja, Nigeria, in June, where remedies such as cheap fertilizer ...
