Abstract

Problems of soil limiting factors affecting crop growth were not fully understood owing to little attention has been given to soil mineralogy and its association to soil chemical properties. The objective of the study was to assess soil  mineralogical and chemical properties of seven soils derived from different parentmaterials as an integrated strategic consideration to establish soil management. Field study was carried out in 2009. Soils were sampled from each horizon of profiles. Results showed that primary and secondary minerals had a strong effect on soil chemical properties. The sand fraction of soils derived from basalt, gabbro, mica schist and serpentinite was dominated by resistant minerals (quartz or opaques), leading to very limited, if any, nutrients released from parent  materials. The clay fraction was dominated by kaolinite for soils derived frombasalt, mica schist and gabbaro, and by amorphous materials for the soil derived from serpentinite resulting in low soil cation exchange capacity (CEC). For other three soils derived from volcanic tuff, volcanic basaltic andesite and volcanic ash, the easily weatherable minerals (feldspar and ferromagnesian) were dominant, suggesting the high reserved nutrients. The presence of halloysite and smectite minerals in the soil derived from volcanic tuff resulted in high soil CEC, while the dominance of amorphous materials in soils derived from volcanic basaltic andesite and volcanic ash was responsible for the low CEC. Forsoils derived from basalt, serpentinite, mica schist and gabbro, therefore, the strategic management should be directed to restore soil CEC, pH, exchangeable cations and P content. For soils derived from volcanic tuff, volcanic basaltic andesite and volcanic ash, the presence of easily weatherable minerals indicated many reserved nutrients; hence the soil management is directed for  replenishment of nutrients removed by crops.

Abstract

Clay and organic colloids are two factors that control major, if not all, chemical, physical and biological processes and soil properties but maintaining soil organic matter content under tropical conditions is difficult. The objectives of this review are to explore association between minerals and organic substances, mechanisms underlying the stabilization of soil organic matter, and their implication on pH0 of soil variable charge component. The modes of interaction in clay-humus complexes may occur through anion and ligand exchange to the crystal edges, cation or water bridge to basal surfaces, H-bonding to the siloxane or gibbsite sheetby van der Waals forces attraction (physical bonds), entrapment in crystal pores and intradomain regions, and adsorption in interlayer spaces. Organic matter preservation was related to amount of clay fraction, type of clay mineral present and aggregate formation. High preservation occurs in soils having high clay content, the presence of 2:1 minerals and amorphous minerals (allophane and imogolite), and a larger aggregate size. Current knowledge indicates that the mechanisms of soil organic matterstabilization are: (i) chemical recalcitrance involves elemental composition, the presence of functional groups, and molecular conformation of organic substances against decomposition by microbes and enzymes; (ii) chemical stabilization occurs through adsorption of functional groups to clay mineral surfaces and amorphous sesquioxides; (iii) physical protection involves organic substances being protected by clay fractions in soil pores, especially mesopres (2-50 nm) that limits the accessibility of microbes andenzymes. Soil organic matter is powerful in masking reactive mineral surfaces and generating soil negative charge, which is revealedby the low value of pH.

Abstract

Systematic study on the effect of various clay contents on organic C dynamic and groundnut yield (Arachis hypogea) in upland acid soils has not received any attention. The objectives of the study were: (i) to assess the capability of various soil clay contents to preserve organic C, (ii) and to relate the effects of soil clay fraction and organic C on groundnut yield of an acid soil (Ultisol). The soil clay content was artificially adjusted to 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75%. Each soil clay percentage was thoroughly mixed with finely ground rice straw at the rate equals to 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5% of organic C. The soil was then transferred into a pot and planted with corn (Zea mays)for the first 6 months and followed by groundnut for further 6 months. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with three replications under glasshouse conditions. Results for the first 6 months have been published elsewhere. Hence, results for the last 6 months were presented here. Soil clay was the major factor responsible for the preservation of organic C as indicated by (i) the increased soil organic C with increasing clay fraction, and (ii) the low mineralization rate as shown by CO2-C: total C ratio from low to high 75<60<45<30<15% soil clay. It is observed that every 15% clay increment could preserve another 0.3% organic C for the period of 12 months. The increased soil organic C could linearly increase groundnut yield for 15 and 30% clay and quadratic yield for 45 and 60% clay. The maximum grain yield was 25.7-27.6 g pot-1 (equals to 2.9-3.1 t ha-1), which was obtained at 30-45 % clay containing 1.8-1.9% soil organic C.
