Pedological characterization and soil fertility assessment of the selected rice irrigation schemes, Tanzania

Abstract: Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the second cereal food crop grown in Tanzania after maize (Zea mays L.) and covers approximately 18% of the agricultural land. Soil degradation due to intensive cultivation along with low organic matter input and nutrient imbalance has led to a decline in rice crop yields. This study was conducted to characterize, classify, and assess the fertility status of soils in two rice irrigation schemes of Morogoro region in Tanzania. The data obtained through this study will contribute signif… Show more

“…The climate is classified as a tropical savanna climate with a bimodal rainfall distribution pattern, having dry spells separating a short rainy season from October to December and a long rainy season from March to May (Kwesiga et al, 2020;Michael et al, 2023). The mean annual rainfall and temperature range from 1,200 to 1,400 mm and 22-23°C, respectively (Alaivasha et al, 2022;Marzouk et al, 2023). The site receives sufficient water drained from the forest reservoir on the eastern side of Udzungwa Mountain.…”
