“…The productivity of soil depends on its ability to provide nutrients to its plants. The lack of these essential nutrients can severely affect soil stability and productivity (Naidu et al, 2019). The arable soils of Mansala-Kayikoro are deficient in micronutrients, especially in Zinc (Zn), Boron (B) and Copper (Cu), which subsequently affect plant production capacities (Gårdestedt et al, 2009).…”

Background: The soil fertility assessment is crucial for sustainable agriculture and plant yields. The knowledge of the trophic level of agricultural soil fertility is mandatory in order to define the development of food crops due to the lack of soil fertility assessment in this region and the decrease in crop yields. Methods: In this context, an investigation was carried out to study the fertility status of the Mansala-Kayikoro soils and some essential soil properties, such as pH, CEC, OM, EC etc. Ten soil samples were collected from farming areas and analyzed for macronutrients, micronutrients and essential soil physicochemical properties. Result: Soils of the Kayikoro area were highly acidic to slightly acidic in reaction with a low to high organic carbon (OC) content. According to the data, the cation exchange capacity (CEC) was deficient. The available macronutrients such as N, P and K content in the soils were found below the requirement of plant. The concentration of micronutrients such as iron, copper, manganese and zinc was slightly low in the analyzed samples.

The insufficiency of nutrients in the soils has been identified as one of the factors that have affected the productivity of crops. An investigation was carried out to assess the trophic level of soil in the region. Using a non-probability sampling technique, a total of 70 representative surface soil samples were collected between February and April, 2021. The sampling depth ranged from 0 to 30 cm, according to the root length of the crop. The collected soil samples were analyzed to assess the pH, EC, OM, available macronutrients, and micronutrients. The macronutrients were determined using a flame photometer, and micronutrients were determined with ICP-OES. The organic matter status was low in Trenabougou soils. The soils are moderately acidic in reaction (pH 5.84) with low soluble salt content (EC 0.27 dS/m). Some macronutrients were low or medium in fertility status. The nitrogen, potassium, and magnesium nutrient index values were below 1.25, indicating low fertility status. Nevertheless, sulphurous and calcium were found at medium fertility levels with a nutrient index of 1.87 and 2.17. The concentrations of micronutrients like iron, copper, and zinc were high in soils. Nevertheless, nickel, manganese, and boron were in the limited range suitable for plant growth.
