Insecticides are commonly used in integrated weed management programs in agricultural plantations. Their usage not only controls the weed populations but also affects microbial populations especially bacteria and fungi in soil, and hence modify soil biochemical and biological processes critical for ecosystem functioning. This study determined the effect of... Continue here

Rapid and emerging world population coupled with climate change have led to landscape transformation accompanied by rapid expansion of urban areas globally. This paper contributes to the discussion of how urban farming is serving as a “saving grace” to our degraded land covers that have witnessed human-driven degradation processes by highlighting...

The relation between soil type and different levels of spent engine oil pollution on soil physicochemical properties was studied. Sandy loam (SL), Loamy sand (LS), and Sandy clay loam (SCL) were potted with a polythene bag and polluted with 10% w/w (122 mL/kg), 20% w/w (245 mL/kg) and 0% w/w (0 mL/kg) of spent engine oil. The soil was thoroughly mixed with spent... Continue here
