The results obtained as: tensile (the epoxy is 6.25 MPa while, for the 5% bentonite reinforced composite is 6.79 MPa), flexural (the epoxy is 8.42 MPa while, for the 5% bentonite reinforced composite is 14.64 MPa), impact (the epoxy is 40.82 J/m2 while, for the 5% bentonite reinforced composite is 60.78 J/m2 ), hardness (the epoxy is 48.32 MPa while, for the 5% bentonite reinforced composite is 62.82 MPa), abrasion/wear resistance (the epoxy is 0.2410-3mm3/Nm while, for the 5% bentonite reinforced composite is 0.1410-3mm3/Nm), the results of performance evaluation shows that the epoxy resin/modified bentonite composite have potential application in surface coating, packaging, and tiles.

Most important fertility determinants are soil minerals content (ammonium ions, total nitrogen content, total phosphorus and exchangeable bases), acidity and alkalinity of soil (soil PH), soil texture and soil type. Physicochemical parameters of soil samples were determined by volumetric method of analysis. The samples were collected from some local government areas of Jigawa and kano states of Nigeria.
