Impact Of Hydropriming Duration On Seed Germination And Emergence Indices Of Sweet Basil
The experiment was conducted in the Department of Horticultural Technology, Enugu State Polytechnic, Iwollo, Enugu state, Nigeria to determine the impact of hydro-priming duration on seed germination and emergence indices of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) in August, 2018. The treatments were 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours of hydropriming. The control treatment was left... Continue here
Effects Of Multilocation On Intra-row Spacing And Nitrogen Rate On Growth And Yield Of Bambara Groundnut (vigna Subterranea (l.) Verdc.) In North Eastern Nigeria
Field experiments were conducted in 2015 rainy season at Teaching and Research Farms of Department of Crop Production and Horticulture, Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola and Department of Crop Science, Taraba State College of Agriculture, Jalingo to investigate the effect of multilocation on intra-row spacing and nitrogen rates on the growth and yield...

Combining Ability And Gene Action Analysis In A Half-diallel Cross Of Brassica Rapa L.
Fifteen hybrids along with six parents were tested to identify good combiners through analyzing combining ability and gene action for yield and its attributes. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications during 2010/11 at research farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka. Data for days to 50% flowering... Continue here
Increasing The Shelf-life And Quality Of Matured Scotch Bonnet (ata Rodo) And Tomato Using Chitosan Coating
Loss in quantity and quality of several perishable crops occur between harvest and handling process to the final consumer. In tomatoes and scotch bonnet, the quality loss occurs majorly due to over-ripening, mechanical damage, fungal infection and decay. Extending the shelf life and storability of these perishable crops has been of major concern to researchers.... Continue here
Land Size And Landlessness As Connotations For Food Security In Rural Low-income Farmers: A Case Of Gedeo Zone, Southern Ethiopia
Food insecurity and rural vulnerability is a major problem for landless and low-income farmers. However, identifying the main causes and consequence of food insecurity in rural low-income farmers is not very well understood by policy makers to design and implement more effective policies and programs to seek solution. The study examines the cause and consequences... Continue here
Suitability Assessment Of Soils Derived From Fine-grained Biotite Gneiss And Schist In Rainforest Region Of Southwestern Nigeria For Pepper (capsicum Sp. L.) Production
Soils derived from fine-grained biotite gneiss and schist are extensive in southwestern Nigeria and are reportedly suitable for both arable and tree crops. Pepper is an indispensable part of the daily diet of millions of Nigerians. However, its productivity in southwestern Nigeria is low compared with its’ demand. This study assessed the suitability of soils... Continue here
Effect Of Grafting Dates And Wrapping Materials On Grafting Success Of Apple (malus Domestica Cv. Royal Delicious) In Jumla, Nepal
Grafting is a successful method of propagation of cultivated apple (Malus domestica Borkh.). However, the most suitable grafting date and wrapping material have not been well understood. The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of grafting dates and wrapping materials on grafting success of royal delicious apple at Horticulture Research Station,... Continue here
Effect Of Secondary Compounds On Nutrients Utilization And Productivity Of Ruminant Animals: A Review
Plants produce secondary compounds (include tannins, saponins, flavoids, glucosinolates, mimosine and essential oils) which are not used for their growth, development and reproduction of the plant. The review found out the nutrient utilization and productivity performance of ruminant animals supplementing with secondary compounds containing forages, browse... Continue here
Nutritional Improvement Of Rice Straw Treated With Urea-molasses And Its Effect On In Vitro Digestibility
Rice straw was treated with urea-molasses and concealed in a polythene bag for a week. The resultant impact of the treatment on the chemical composition and in vitro gas production parameters was analyzed. Feed grade urea was dissolved in water containing molasses equivalent to 0.5% (T2), 1.0% (T3), 1.5% (T4) and 2% T5 (w/v) were sprayed on 100 g quadruplicate... Continue here
