Climate Change Induced Soil Compaction: Evaluating the Adaptation Measures to Enhance Maize Yields in a Tropical Humid Acidic Soil, Nigeria
Original language description
Compaction of agricultural soils is a great concern for farmers within the tropics as climate change and poor farm practices severely affect the soil and exacerbate food insecurity in the area. The study investigated the responses of soil nutrients and maize yields to soil compaction parameters (bulk density, surface penetration resistance, gravimetric, soil water content) and management (tillage, mulching, fertilizer) in acidic soil, in Nigeria. We hypothesized that climate change and tillage promote soil compaction, whereas mulching increases mineralization of organic carbon, N, P, and K contents which consequently elevates maize yields. The study comprises of seven treatments: mulch (M), fertilizer (F), tillage (T), mulch and fertilizer (MF), tillage and mulch (TM), tillage and fertilizer (TF), and unmanaged (U) under early and late growing seasons. The mineral fertilizer NPK 12:24:12 used were urea, calcium superphosphate, and potassium sulfate respectively. Data were collected and analyzed based
