Abstract: The study aims to analyze the morphological, pedonogical and physic-chemical properties of the soils of part of Asossa Agricultural Research Center, to improve agricultural productivity of the farm. Two soil profiles were opened to represent the identified site units of the study area, examined and described. Samples were collected from the two pedons according to the natural pedogenic horizons identified, analyzed for both physical and chemical properties and characterized. Soil profiles were described as per FAO-WRB soil profile description guidelines.

Abstract: The fast-growing natures of conifer tree species and favorable economic returns from these trees have encouraged the conversion of natural grasslands in open forests into tree plantations in Ethiopia. The dominant tree species used for this purpose in open forest areas of Eastern Oromia were Podocarpus falcatus, Juniperus procera and Cupressus lusitanica. These tree species plantations are spreading rapidly in mountain areas, specially, in protected open forest areas. However, how different tree species affect soil chemical nutrients of the open areas after plantation is remain largely unknown. Thus, the study was conducted at Keramile open forest of Goro-gutu district, Eastern Ethiopia, to evaluate the effect of coniferous tree species on grassland or open areas found in the open forest.

Abstract: Soil acidity is major yield-limiting factors for crop production in the highlands areas with heavy rainfall. Soil acidity affects the growth of crops due to high concentration of toxic acidic cations to plant. Field experiments was conducted under permanent plots to study the influence of splits application of recommended lime rate on yield and yield attributes of wheat in acidic soils during three main cropping seasons..
