Agriculture is man’s major supplier of his needs, particularly his primary need which is food. Soil is a major component for sustainable agriculture production needs to be studied and understood. Soil’s characteristics determine the type of crop that would grow and the nature of the yield of the crop. The area of study is Covenant University farmland, where twenty soil samples from the farm were collected and petrophysical parameters such as conductivity and salinity were analysed on each soil sample.
