75 words
A semi-detailed soil survey of the land of Ikwuano Local
Government Area Abia State South East Nigeria was
undertaken. The soils were sampled with the aid of soil auger
to identify major soil types and their morphological properties
(e.g. soil colour, texture, consistence, structure). Pedons were
dug in representative soil mapping units and analysed for
morphology, physical and chemical properties. The soils were
classified as inceptisols and appeared suitable for upland rice,
cashew and cassava.
