Soil physical changes and crop root growth following different methods of land clearing in western Nigeria.
We studied the effects of four different methods of land clearing in western Nigeria on soil physical properties of an Alfisol and on the root growth of the following crop. The methods used were manual clearing and clearing with a shearblade, a treepusher, and a treepusher/root rake. Soil physical p...
