Abstract
A detailed characterization of soils earmarked as "Benchmark
Soils of Morogoro District" in Tanzania was carried out to provide
basic data required in planning and execution of soil fertility
studies in the area. Benchmark soils are defined as those occuring
in extensive areas and whose comprehensive characterization could
contribute substantially to transfer of agro-technology from one
area to another.
