Characterization of Soil and Growth Response of Rice on Different Positions along the Toposequence in Awka, Anambra State

Research Article / By

INTRODUCTION Soils are unrenewable natural resources that vary in their properties and composition spatially across the landscape and vertically down the soil profile (Brady & Weil., 2010., Brubaker et al., 1993). However, soil variation is a function of various factors, including climate, living organisms, parent materials, topography, and time. Within a locality, the topography may …
