Land evaluation of valleys in a tropical rain area
1979
Veldkamp, Wietze Jan
In the forest zone of south-western Nigeria, hydromorphic and adjacent land types are hardly used for agriculture. To determine their potential, the soils, groundwater regimes and soil moisture regimes were studied, together with the social environment, geology, hydrology, climatology and natural vegetation. Crop performance, especially in relation to the groundwater regime, was studied in toposequence experiments. In an ecological suitability classification, land qualities, management levels, and crop performance were considered, resulting in ecological crop suitabilities for specific management units. For some management units the suitabilities, including some socio-economic aspects, have been evaluated.
