ABSTRACT

 The study was carried out to evaluate the soilfertility status in an Agroforestry Farm in Ikwuano Local Government Area Abia State, Nigeria. To determine its suitability for agro forestry. Soil samples were takenfrom different spots within the study site at a depth of 0 - 30cm, then bulked together and twelve representative samples were taken out ofit. Core samples were also taken to the study site and used to collect samplesfor the determination ofbulk density. The samples were bagged and properly labeled. Each sample was air-dried before taken to the laboratory for analysis after being sievedwith a 2mm sieve. The differentphysical and chemicalproperties ofthe soil were determined. After the laboratory process, the results ofthe analysis were subjected to statistical analysis using anova. The result revealed that the soil had a bulk density rangingfrom 1.29g/cm3 to 1.35g/cm3, a total porosity of 48.56g/kg, a hydraulic conductivity ranging from 38.75cm3/min to 47.00cm3/min, a moisture content rangingfrom 11.37% to 12.88g/kg, a sand content ranging from 88.93% to 91.18%, a silt content ranging from 2.56%> to 3.56%>, a clay content rangingfrom 5.26%> to 7.28%, a productive base Saturation, a soilpHfrom 6.26 to 6.87
