African universities have to play a central role in Africa’s development through the provision of quality training, knowledge and innovations. This is particularly crucial in ensuring a food secure Africa through a ...

Purpose Humic substances, which are integral components of total organic carbon (TOC), influence soil quality. The study aimed to investigate whether humic and non-humic fractions exhibit early, consistent, and measurable ...

Five representative soil profiles were excavated along a toposequence selected in the Itagunmodi area of South-Western Nigeria. The soils were subjected to physical, chemical, and mineralogical analyses. The results indicated ...

A study was conducted to determine the distribution of forms of K (water soluble K, exchangeable K, non-exchangeable K, and total K) of potassium in some Ghanaian soils occurring along toposequence using standard laboratory ...

The regenerative capacity of Mucuna pruriens var. utilis live-mulch and factors affecting its management were investigated. Six plots of mucuna (each measuring 48 m2) were established at an intra-row spacing of 40 cm and ...

Purpose – The economy of today has moved toward the fourth industrial revolution (FIR), which is characterized by the adoption of technologies such as cyber-physical systems, internet of things, big data, artificial ...

Objectives: The low fertility of highly weathered soils has been a major problem for resource-constrained smallholder farmers. In central Uganda, smallholder farmers have been collecting termite mound soils anywhere around ...

Phosphorus is an important primary nutrient required by plants in large quantities. The various forms of P that plants can take up are the primary monobasic phosphate ion (H2PO4−), secondary dibasic phosphate ion (HPO42−) ...
