Abstract:
We assessed variation of soil physical parameters from a total of 24 villages. Sampling plots were established across the three major agro-ecological zones, the lower, mid and upper elevation zone and between maize and agroforestry. Undisturbed samples was collected by core ring to determine bulk density (sampled with 100cc Core Ring) and volumetric water content. In laboratory, the proportions of soil texture classes were calculated.
