Overview

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Geology, Mineralogy, Soil Science, grade: B, University of Greenwich, language: English, abstract: It is believe that a better understanding of agricultural soil environment is a key to better soil quality and high crop yield. Understanding the soil problems would certainly leads to solutions on how to tackle them. However, this could not only serve as a part of soil management but also as a part of economic development. For instance, when mother is healthy and fertile, there is more expectation from her to provide healthy and quality produce but when there is deficiency in any of the elements (either macros or micros elements), her produce may also affected, hence increasing poverty and hunger. High quality and fertile soil always provide better condition for the growth and development of plants (right from seed germination up to the maturity stage). Example, deficiency in N, P, and K in soil might lead to several problems to growing plant in a particular soil environment. These problems may include poor germination, stunting, and defoliations of plants, late maturity and also susceptible to both pest and disease attack leading to poor yield of the crops. Therefore, understanding soil environment is a key to high yield of crop production in the north-west one of northern Nigeria.
