• W3167331320 abstract "All soils have potential for high yield for specific crops. Nigerian soils have potential for medium to high yield, but poor farming practices including the misuse of chemical fertilizers result in a number of constraints such as soil salinity, degradation and decliningfertility, which militate against high crop yields. Nigeria, currently battling with food insecurity because population growth is not commensurate with agricultural production. Thus, there is need for urgent intervention in the agricultural sector. The aim of this studywas to integrate geophysical and geochemical methods for sustainable precision agriculture in two farm sites of Covenant University and Landmark University, Nigeria. In this study, electrical resistivity, geochemical and satellite imagery methods were used for soil characterisation in farm sites at Covenant University, Ota, Southwest and Landmark University, Omu-Aran, North-central Nigeria between June, 2018 and January, 2019. Theelectrical resistivity data were processed using RES2DINV and Win-Resist software. Geochemical analysis of soil samples from the sites was conducted using ICP-MS inACME laboratory, Canada. Monthly MERRA satellite data was used to determine the soil temperature and soil moisture content while soil salinity was estimated from Landsat-8satellite imagery. The study showed that electrical resistivity of the topsoil in Covenant University farm ranged from 120 -500 Ωm, while that of Landmark University farm ranged from 345-527 Ωm. The soil types delineated at the Covenant University farm were clayeysand and lateritic clay; sand/lateritic gravelly sand was delineated at Landmark University farm. Potentially toxic elements were detected in the soil samples of both sites; arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) exceeded FAO/WHO recommended standard limits in Covenant University farm. The pollution indices of Co, Cr, Ni, Pb and Mn in the Covenant University farm were within low to high contamination, while As was within medium to high contamination. In Landmark University farm, the pollution indices of Pb, Cu, Zn, Co and Cd ranged from low to medium, while As has pollution index within low to high contamination. Results showed elevated concentrations of As in all samples. Ca-Mg, P-Mg, Fe-Al, Ca-K, Mg-K and Na-K paired nutrients were positively correlated at5% level of significance in both farmlands, indicating similar increase in both farmlands. Also, the geospatial maps revealed zones of high and low accumulation of essential macro nutrients within the farmlands. Landmark University farmland indicated higher soil salinitythan Covenant University farm land. Soil temperature (ST) data at Covenant University farm ranged from 296 - 314 K, while ST at Landmark University farm ranged from 289 -317 K. Soil moisture content data for both farms ranged from 23 – 113 3 3 mmand 10 - 110 3 3 mmin Covenant and Landmark University farms, respectively. The sandy gravelly soil of Landmark University farm is suitable for the planting of root and tuber crops such as carrot, yam, potatoes, turmeric and beets. Cabbage, leafy vegetables and lemon grass can be grown successfully in Covenant University farm. The ecological risk assessment of toxicmetals, showed that arsenic may present a moderate to very high biological risk to both plants and animals that feed on the soil of both farm lands. The site-specific information of the farm sites has been provided. This study provides database that can serve as useful guide in soil management decision making for better yield" @default.
