Item COMPARATIVE EFFECT OF SELECTED TREE LEGUMES ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF AN ALFISOL IN EKITI STATE(ARPN Journal of Agricultural and Biological Science, 2016-03) OLUJOBI, Olusola JoshuaSoils in the tropics commonly suffer from multiple nutrient deficiencies due to continuous cultivation. The negative impact of in organic fertilizer on soil and environment appears to have made its application on soil to be less effective. This study thus examined the effect of tree legumes on physio-chemical properties of an alfisol. Soil samples from three year fallows of Senna siamea, Gliricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and natural fallow were collected at 0- 15 cm and 15-30 cm depth. The samples were analyzed using standard laboratory procedures. The result revealed that leguminous species improved the textural class of the soil from loamy sand to sandy loam at 0-15 cm depth. Bulk density along the soil depth increases under agroforestry species fallows than the natural fallow. Chemical properties along the soil depths significantly (p < 0.05) improved under leguminous fallows with pH range (7.02-7.19), N (0.61% - 2.79%) and P (211.71ppm - 242.11ppm) when compared with the soil under natural fallow with pH (5.96 - 6.77), N (0.10% - 0.73%) and P (206.15ppm-224.88ppm) Also there is a significant reduction in values of Na (66.29ppm- 50.48ppm ) and K (75.52ppm -52.22ppm) in soils under agroforestry species along the soil depth, when compared with natural fallow Na(74.21ppm - 67.83ppm) and K (90 .0ppm - 76.66 ppm).Item Effect of Wildlife Species on the Activities of Agroforest Farmers in Ekiti State(Journal of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, 2013-01) OLUJOBI, Olusola Joshua; Sale, F .A; Akande, O. M.Continued reduction and fragmentation of natural habitat and feeding site for wildlife species through man’s developmental activities, has led to the encroachment of wildlife population into the adjacent farm land to search for food, thereby leading to destruction of agroforestrytrees and crops.This study examined the effect of wildlife species on activities of agroforest farmers in Ekiti State forest reserves. The study area was stratified on the basis of vegetation into two zones (rain forest and derived savannah zones). Eighty pretestedquestionnaireswererandomly administered to farmers for collection of data. Information obtained revealed that majority of the respondents are married (93%), middle age (50%) men (60 %). Mammals and aves contitutes the highest group of animals present.The respondents opined that wildlife species impact both negatively and positively on their trees and crops. Some of the damages done by wildlife to trees and crops includes; cutting, uprooting, trampling, defoliation, browsing of young shoot and leaves and plucking of fruits.Finally the result shows that control measure such asthe use of dog, chemical, trapping, scared off by guards, hunting, poison,use of charm and use of human statue, were employed to checkmate the activities of these animals on farmers farmlands.
