Assessing the Nitrogen Leaching Potential of the Njala Soil Series Amended with Biochar

Alie Kamara, Foday Saidu Sesay & Adama Moses Kanu · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2025

Upland gravelly soils of Sierra Leone pose serious challenges to agriculture due to their low ability to retaining nutrients and water. Their highly weathered states, dominance of low activity clays and low organic matter content exacerbates their nutrient retention capabilities...

Effect of Biochar Derived from Different Crop Residues on Soil Water Retention

Foday Saidu Sesay & Alie Kamara · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2025

The water retention capacity of Sierra Leone soils is low due to low organic matter content and the dominance of highly weathered low activity clay minerals such as kaolinite and iron and aluminum sequioxides. It is therefore essential to seek efforts to improve water retention c...
