Discussion

Assessment shows soil conditions affect sorghum production in Tula, suggesting improvements in sustainability practices.

Soil in the upper and lower slopes shows marginal suitability (S3) for sorghum production, leading to moderate sustainability ratings.
Soil texture and low organic carbon are key agronomic constraints identified as limiting factors for sorghum in the middle slope.
Cumulative Rating Index (CRI) reveals upper slope soils are most suitable, with CRI values of 23 and 22 for the upper and lower slopes, respectively.
Recommended management practices include the use of organic fertilizers and effective irrigation techniques to enhance crop sustainability in Gombe.

Jimoh et al. (2025) studied this question.
