Rice residue management on Fadama lands and their effects on soil properties and crop development

Rice hulls / husks were used as a stubble material to investigate their effects on soil properties root and shoot development of maize. Soils were sampled from five Fadama fields in Bauchi State, Nigeria. Under varied compaction (0 - 8 blows) and hulls levels (0 – 400 g), the soil bulk density was f...
