Murdoch University | Australia

Dr. Fariya Abubakari, the research focuses on soil fertility, nutrient dynamics, and sustainable agricultural productivity, particularly examining potassium behavior in sandy soils of Southwest Western Australia. Through glasshouse, laboratory, and field experiments, the studies investigate potassium supplying capacity, release kinetics, and leaching behavior under varying soil conditions and management practices. The work evaluates the impact of soil pH, plant presence, and soil texture on potassium losses and employs predictive modeling using Hydrus 1D to simulate potassium leaching patterns. This research provides valuable insights into nutrient availability, soil-plant interactions, and the development of management strategies to enhance nutrient retention and crop yield sustainability in sandy agricultural systems. Additional investigations explore the effects of soil chemical and physical properties on copper distribution and sorption, nitrogen fixation in legume-based systems, and the impact of fertilizer subsidies on productivity in African agricultural zones. The findings contribute to understanding nutrient cycling, soil amendment techniques, and efficient fertilizer use in both tropical and temperate environments. By integrating experimental data with modeling approaches, the research supports evidence-based recommendations for mitigating nutrient leaching, improving soil health, and promoting sustainable resource management in diverse agroecosystems.
