THE EFFECT
OF BUSH BURNING ON AGRICULTURAL LAND
ABSTRACT
Bush burning
removes the natural vegetation cover that protects the soil surface. This
exposes the land to the effects of wind and water erosion. It should however
noted that burning on agricultural lands in Okada in Ovia North East Local
Government Area attention was focused on the merit and demerit of burning
agricultural land in chapter five. At the later part of this chapter, useful
suggestions and recommendations were given on how to carryout burning by trying
to avoid bad effects on burning agricultural lands in Okada in Ovia North East
Local Government Area of Edo State. However these suggestions and recommendations
are mainly on the part of the governments which are as follows:
The government should help in prohibition
of bush burning careless use of fire by enlightening the farmers and the
public.
The government is to ensure that there are
fires services in the rural area are well equipped with materials to fight
against the outbreak of fire especially in the forest reserves.
The government should provide for some
merchandised equipment to the local farmers to hire for use at a cheap rate in
order to minimize the act of burning agricultural lands by local farmers.
The government should also provide
fertilizer to replenish lost nutrients during burning.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Burning with
reference to land cultivation is a method of land preparation in Edo State. In
general and in Okada in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State in
particular bush burning generally is the method of removing the natural
vegetable from the surface of the soil by setting fire on debris. Bush burning
causes serious damage to trees and crops, its effect of public concern which
should not be for farmer alone and should be handled with seriousness, practice
of burning of fire could also lead to accidental burning of his land and other
properties at his disposal, this ideals of burning his farm came to him with
the food that fire has left behind after roasting his food, fire spread and
destroyed all that was left behind in the environment.
Burning the
farmland for the cultivation of crops has a remarkable effect on the soil
fertility. During burning process some nutrients that are highly needed by the
plants are lost out in form of gasses such nutrient include phosphorous,
nitrogen and sulphur. The ash which is the principle products of burnt material
although rich in phosphorous, nitrogen and potassium can be easily washed away
by rain. The heat produced during burning creates an unfavourable condition for
activities of the soil organism such as earthworms, bacteria etc.
He also
found out the seed of fruits he has eaten and thrown off has grown in his burnt
land and as a result of this included burning in his farm system. The practice
of burning can be traced back of about 2000 years ago, it was discovered that
most of the vegetation debris after clearing, especially on a large scale
farming and small scale farms. Apart from burning the land for cultivation
purpose animals are also trapped.
1.2 PURPOSE OF STUDY
Bush burning
has become part and parcel of the activities of farmers in this area. The
negative effects are not considered at all. Hence it is important to highlight
these for the farmers to experience and observe the dangerous effects of bush
burning as it affect the soil as a whole.
SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
Since bush
burning is the major lands preparation practice, it is important to study the
effect of bush burning on agricultural lands and also to carryout investigation
on how far bush burning has affected agricultural land in Okada in Ovia North
East Local Government Area of Edo State and possibly find alternative measure
to avoid bush burning.
SCOPE OF THE
STUDY
The scope of
this project is limited to Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State,
some important towns and villages in Ovia North East Local Government Area such
as Ekiadolor Town, Evboneka, Ughoton etc where farming operation is carried
extensively and that burning issues form the scope of my study. This is due to
some constraints
1.5 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This aims
and objective of this project are:
1. To analyze the effect of burning on
economic tree crops
2. To analyze some of the effect of
bush burning on different soil structures
3. To analyze the effect of bush
burning in relationship to land in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo
State.
4. To analyze some of the effect of
burning on crop plants.
5. To identify the effect of bush
burning on agricultural land in Ovia North East Local Government of Edo State.
6. To analyze the use of bush burning
as a weed control measure or method.
1.6 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS
Burning is a
major problem with agricultural land in our contemporary society especially
Okada in Ovia North East Local Government Area of Edo State. The study answers
the following questions;
1. Does bush burning have effect on
farm crop or plant?
2. Does bush burning reduce the effect
of weed or a measure to control weed?
3. Is burning to fight against pest?
4. Do you consider bush burning as the
cheapest method of land preparation?
