OK, so, in Niger they grow yams and root crops

Crops such as rice, maize, sorghum, coconut, oil palm, and cashew are commonly grown in laterite soil. These crops have adapted to the low fertility and high acidity characteristics of this soil type.
The depth of soil sampling depends on the root depth of the crops to be grown. Different crops have varying root systems that reach different soil depths for nutrient and water uptake. Sampling deeper layers helps to assess the availability of nutrients and other factors that may impact crop growth.
Root crops would basically be vegetables that are harvested in root form. Potatos, radishes, and carrots would be examples of root crops.
Not quite. Sod crops are grass crops grown for their root mass and/or their landscaping appeal. Cover crops are grasses and broadleaves, some of which are legumes, grown for their various abilities to shield soil from erosion, add organic matter to soil, build soil tilth, and add soil nitrogen. Sod crops are usually removed from the field, while cover crops are either tilled into the soil or left on top to decompose.
The depth of soil sampling is usually dependent on the crops to be grown because different crops have varying root depths and nutrient requirements. Sampling deeper can provide insights into nutrient availability and soil properties that may impact root growth and crop yield. Tailoring soil sampling depth to the specific needs of the crops helps ensure proper nutrient management and optimal plant growth.
Root crops in Region 1, which typically refers to the Ilocos Region in the Philippines, include a variety of tubers such as sweet potatoes (camote), taro (gabi), and cassava (balinghoy). These crops thrive in the region's agricultural conditions and are important for local diets and economies. They are often cultivated alongside other crops and are valued for their nutritional content and versatility in cooking.
