ABSTRACT
A study was carried out in the Rubber growing soils of
Utagba-ogbe in Ndokwa-West Local Government Area of Delta State,
Nigeria. The aim was to characterize the soil in respect of their
morphological, physical and chemical properties. Six mapping units were
mapped out, and 4 profile pits dug in each of them in order to
characterize the soils. Soil samples were also collected from the soil
profile horizons and analyzed for their particle size distribution and
chemical properties. The chemical properties evaluated were the soil
pH, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable
bases, exchange acidity and cation exchange capacity. The morphological
properties were also examined and described. These include soil
colour, mottle, texture, structure, consistence and horizon boundary.
Results of the study showed that the soils irrespective of pedons were
deep, non-mottled with varied textures. The structure ranged angular
blocky, to sub–angular blocky. The consistence ranged from friable,
slight plastic to very plastic in the subsoil horizons. The boundary
descriptions were clear, smooth, diffuse, and wavy boundary. The
physical characteristics showed that the soils were sandy loam at the
surface to sandy clay loam and clay loam in the sub-soil horizons. The
soils were generally acidic 5.5 – 6.5, high in organic matter content,
total nitrogen, but low to moderate in phosphorus, basic cations, CEC
and base saturation. The results showed that the rubber growing soils
were moderate in fertility. In order to sustain rubber production for a
long time, regular fertilization and liming should be carried out to
maintain rubber production in the soil.
