The researchers studied the soil in Agoi-Ibami, Nigeria to help farmers make better land use decisions without expensive lab tests. They dug pits in different areas and found that the soil was mostly loamy, which is good for farming. Loamy soil holds water and nutrients well, drains properly, and is easy to work with. This type of soil is ideal for growing crops and can help farmers make smart choices about how to use their land effectively.
