“…For some authors, a rate of 1.5% is the theoretical critical limit, below which fertility declines rapidly. The low contents in the other soils confirm previous results in Burkina Faso which report the deficiencies of soil organic matter in general [16]. [17] found that in Pissila area located in Burkina Faso, the organic carbon is less rich generally in the soil deeper layers.…”

Soil data are essential to know the soils and improve agricultural yields, especially in a locality like Yilou in Burkina Faso. Soil samples were taken from five soil types, namely FLIPP, FLTC, FLIMP, BEHV/F and hydromorphic. The morphological and physicochemical parameters were studied according to the national reference of Burkina Faso. The results of the soil analyzes were compared with reference standard values. The morphological aspect indicates that FLIPP had a light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4) horizon at the beginning and becomes pale brown (10YR/6-3). FLIMP ranged from yellowish brown (10YR5/4) to yellowish yellow (10YR6/6) and BEHV/F had a pale reddish brown horizon (2.5YR6/3-2.5YR6/4). FLTC had a yellowish brown (10YR5/4) matrix color in the first 20 cm and turns light brown (7.5YR5/6) in the next three horizons. The hydromorphic soils were gray at the surface (2.5Y 5/1) and light brown gray (2.5Y 6/2) at depth. The textures of soils were sandy loams (FLIPP, FLTC, FLIMP and BEHV/F) and sandy clay loams (BEHV/F/F, hydromorphic). The soils were slightly acidic (Hydromorphic, FLIPP and FLTC), and slightly alkaline (FLIMP and BEHV/F) with an organic matter below the reference standard (3.6% <OM<6.5%). Hydromorphic soils had the level of very high fertility (OM>2). The total nitrogen content was lower (1.2-2.2%), except for hydromorphic soils (1.81%). The soils had a C/N ratio of 11, except for FLTC soils where C/N ratio was 10 below the baseline standard of 11-15. Hydromorphic and BEHV/F soils had the highest levels of assimilable phosphorus with respective values of 6.24 mg/Kg and 4.65 mg/Kg. The iron levels of the five soils varied from 968 to 1423 mg/Kg. Soils were low in exchangeable cations and the highest level was found in hydromorphic soils (8.37 meq (+)/100g) but remains below to reference standards (10 <CEC< 20). BEHV/F and hydromorphic soils were most fertile.

“…But for soil pH and organic C, the ABS and CAU with crop residue were similar. Granted that residue-retaining cropping systems may not always fully restore degraded tropical soils (Uzoh et al 2017, Adama et al 2022, the CAU being rather ineffectual is yet additional pointer to the enormous soil degradation due to cultivation of Cannabis.…”

The extensive root growth of Indian hemp ( ) or may imply greater depletion of soil nutrients. Because of Cannabis sativa Marijuana the high demand for various parts of this plant especially the leaves that have smoking value, such nutrients may also not be recycled, impoverishing the soil the more. To empirically support or invalidate this hypothesis, this study compared soil physicochemical properties among uplands differing in cultivation status; land not used for cultivation (NUC), land currently under cultivation Cannabis Cannabis Cannabis (CCC), farmlands converted from to alternative use (CAU), and farmlands abandoned or seized (ABS) at a representative Cannabis Cannabis location in southwestern Nigeria. Particle size distribution of the soils differed under the land-use options. Soil bulk density exceeded the critical limit (1.30 Mg/m ) for crop production in these upland soils under CCC but not NUC, both for which values were lower compared to CAU 3 and ABS. Soil pH, soil organic C, total N, available P, and cation exchange capacity were highest under NUC which had the lowest base saturation. The Ca was lowest in CCC, but soil contents of K , Mg and Na were unaffected by cultivation. Also, copper andCannabis manganese were highest in NUC and lowest in CAU, while iron was higher in ABS than the rest. cultivation could compact the soil Cannabis and decrease plant nutrient levels leading to a reduction in legitimate agricultural production below the soil potential.
