Physico-Chemical Analysis of Otuoke Soils

Abstract

The study sternly examined the physico-chemical status of Otuoke soils by direct contact with the physical environment and collection of soil samples at eight (8) sites, which were analyzed in the laboratory. The study discovered a high nutrient level of soils in the study area which were simplified in three (3) descriptive tables of physical parameters, chemical parameters, and a summarized nutrient status. Finally, the study recommended for the high nutrient status of soils of the study area never to be abandoned instead, application of a suitable Land use zoning method to enable the effective existence of urbanization, industrialization and agricultural development in the area is necessary.
