Description
Determination of total elemental composition along the horizontal distances of both sides of major and minor roads in Ile- Ife is important because of the agricultural practices in the neighborhoods of the study area. Soil samples (0-15 cm) obtained from varying horizontal distances from both sides of major and minor roads in Ile-Ife were determined by PIXE method. Results showed a regular trend for the marker elements and irregular trend for the non marker elements. We hope that our findings may influence policy planning ofland usage especially for agriculture.
