ABSTRACT
The ability to
maximally harness the potential of any soil begins with a proper evaluation and
correct classification of that soil. Soils have a variety of uses which include
(but not limited to) road and building construction, sport facilities and
agriculture. A few soils may be suitable for a variety of uses, while most may
support only a definite type of activity. Moreover, a soil may be suitable for
one crop and not another. The Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike
is blessed with more than 32 hectares of land which have been earmarked for
crop production. It is laudable that this research project has begun the
process of mapping these soils in order to classify them and evaluate their
suitability for agricultural use. It is hoped that further, research will build
on this noble effort until the entire land area of the University and its
environs have been mapped on an intensive scale. This is required if the
University is to play its role in enhancing food production in South Eastern
Nigeria, and indeed, the entire country.
