Alfisols, Vertisols, Inceptisols, Aridisols, Mollisols, and Entisols were sampled (0-30 cm) from 32 locations across Ethiopia. The soils were analyzed for copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and iron (Fe) contents using 0.005 M diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), 0.05 M hydrochloric ...
