Physico-chemical characterization and spatial variability of soils in the research block at University of Limpopo Experimental FarmPhefadu, Kopano Conferance January 2015 (has links)
Thesis (MSc. (Soil Science)) -- University of Limpopo, 2015 / There exists a considerable level of spatial variability in soil physical and chemical properties within the research block; and the soils are generally shallow. Of all the measured parameters, electrical conductivity, Bray-1 P, exchangeable potassium, calcium and sodium as well as extractable iron and zinc showed a huge percent of variation across the field. Soil variability maps indicated the degree of variability within the research block. The spatial variability of the characterized parameters was significant across the research block. A correlation study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the measured soil physical and chemical properties. Regular soil analyses should be conducted to avoid failure/delay of experiments. It is recommended that inputs such as irrigation and fertilizer application must be varied based on varying soil conditions across the research block. / VLIR project 6 leaders
