A semi-detailed characterization of soils ofMorogoro Urban district was carried out to provide a physical
resource base for developing suitable programmes on land use planning, agricultural development and
natural resources conservation at district level. The generated information would also be used for develop
the agricultural land suitability, with a statement of potential and constraints on sustained use of soil and
land resources of Morogoro Urban district. Results of the study could also facilitate transfer of agrotechnology
from one area to another.
Base map for the study was compiled from aerial-photo interpretation and subsequent overlaying on
1:50,000 scale topographic map of the district. A geological map was later on prepared and overlain on the
former map to produce a landform and geology map of the district. A tentative working legend based on
landforms and geology was developed for the landform and geology map. Field observations on soil
morphology and their spatial distribution were carried out following the established landform and geology
units. Soils were studied and described according to standard FAO (1990) guidelines. Both disturbed and
undisturbed soil horizon samples were taken for laboratory studies including physico-chemical and
mineralogical characterization of the soils. |
