The physicochemical properties of the soil in the study area were given in the Table 1. The results showed that the texture of the soil was sand loam and was slightly acidic in nature with PH of 6.0. The organic matter content was low (1.45 g/100g). Total N was low (0.09 g/100g). The available P and potassium were equally low with values of 2.2 mg/kg-1 and 0.32Cmol/kg-1 respectively. The cation-exchange-capacity was low. Generally, the soil fertility was low based on the above fertility indices.
