These soils have respective suitability classes S3/Nc,f , Nc,w and Nc,s due to climatic limitations, soil fertility, soil water conditions and soil physical characteristics. Ferrasols have a marginal to unsuitable aptitude due to climate (relative humidity in the driest month), where it is advisable to irrigate the soil in the dry season and use agroforestry systems (SAF), and soil fertility (pH and CEC), where it is more appropriate to correct the soil pH and use cover cropping systems (SCV). Gleysols and Ferrasols on armourstone have an uncorrectable inaptitude due to the waterlogging of these soils and the presence of armourstone where cocoa cannot move its roots well.]]> Amira Zainab Mbombo, Lionelle Estelle Mamdem, Bienvenue Achille Ibrahim, Denis Tiki, Lucian Banakeng, Emile Temgoua, Dieudonné Bitom 2025-09-29 Science and Education Publishing 2025-09-29 3 13 57 66 10.12691/jgg-13-3-2
