| Title: | Effect of liming an ultisol for the establishment of a tropical hardwood in Southern Nigeria |

| Abstract: | A soil culture experiment was set up in the
greenhouse to evaluate the response of Terminalia superba Engl. and Diels (afara)
to different pH levels through timing for plantation establishment. An acidic soil
(ultisol) collected from Sapoba Forest Reserve in southwestern Nigeria was used.
The results indicated that optimum growth and total dry matter yields were
obtained when the soil pH was between 5.9 and 6.1. Depressed growth and yields
occurred at low and high pH. The effective cation exchange capacity (CEC) and
exchangeable Ca in the soil increased significantly (P=0.05) with increasing lime
addition while Mg, K, Na, Mn, and exchangeable Al+H decreased. Highest
nutrient concentrations in the leaves of the plants occurred between pH of 5.7 and
6.1 for P, 6.3 and 6.5 for Ca, 5.9 and 6.5 for K and between 6.0 and 6.5 for Mg. |
