·         Soil information for agricultural development through characterization, classification and mapping of soils in Nigeria for land evaluation, sustainable management and erosion control of some strategic locations in Nigeria made available.

·         Soil inventory focused on rice value chain in Ebonyi, Taraba and Niger as well as National Programme on Food Security (NPFS) in Niger Delta, Edo and Lagos States for land use planning for smallholder farmers.

·         Detailed Pedological studies including clay mineralogy and micro-morphology. The Programme has repository of soil data bank which is the basis for the IAR&T soil information system being developed.

·         Development of fertilizer rate recommendation and micronutrient requirements of crops as well as evaluation of rock phosphate as a source of soil phosphorous for crop production.

·          Development of Passively Aerated Composting Techniques (PACT) that reduce composting time to six weeks and development of organic and organic-based fertilizer (cassava-based compost and vetiver based compost).

·         Production of rainfall erosivity and erodibility map of Nigeria and amelioration techniques for degraded soils using legumes.

·         Weather forecast for prediction of onset of rainfall for crop production in IAR&T outstations and use of low-cost irrigation technology (water harvesting, check dams and tube wells).

·         Capacity building through training of stakeholders and production of farmers guide on sustainable land use, erosion control, compost production, flood control, soil fertility management and irrigation methods.

·         Soil fertility evaluation for small-holder farmers.
