Impact Of Weed Control Methods And Staking On The Growth, Yield, And Weed Response Of Cucumber (cucumis Sativus L.) In Kano, Sudan Savanna, Nigeria
Cucumber growing is becoming increasingly popular in Nigeria's Sudan savanna region due to its health benefits and minimal impact on the soil. However, weed infestation is a major challenge that can significantly reduce yields, by up to 45-95%. In view of this, two trials were conducted at the Teaching and Research farm of the Faculty of Agriculture and the... Continue here

Review Of The Correlation Between Pesticide Uses And Human Chronic Diseases
A pest is every living thing, that has a detrimental effect on people or their interests. They can transmit diseases, harm crops, and interfere with daily activities. Pests like rats and insects are often found in human environments. Pesticides are biological or chemical substances designed to resist, attract, control, or prevent any biological entity that is...

Screening For Induced Drought Stress Tolerance On Some Selected Rice Varieties (oryza Glaberrima L.) Using Silver Nanoparticles (agnps)
Rice is the main staple food for one-third of people worldwide providing up to 80% of these individuals' daily calories. Drought is adverse, affecting crop plants' growth, yield, quality and nutritional value. Likewise, it causes social unrest and economic loss to the farmers and governments. The current study aimed to examine the impact of environmentally... Continue here

Molecular Characterisation Of Bacteria Isolated From Dump Site At Gbogidi, Ilaro, Ogun State, Nigeria
This study used both genetic and cultural methods to identify the bacterial species linked to dumpsite soil. Samples of soil were taken in Gbogigi, Ilaro, Ogun State. Both the Nutrient Agar method and the Serial Dilution approach were used to isolate the bacteria linked to the dumpsite soil. Using the Quick-DNA Fungal/Bacterial MiniPrepTM Kit, deoxyribonucleic...

Relationship Between Prolactin Genetic Polymorphisms And Growth Performance Trait In Nigerian Indigenous Chickens
The two experiments were conducted to determine the qualitative trait between Normal and Frizzle feathered chickens. The second experiment compares the genotypic and allelic frequency of prolactin gene polymorphism in Normal (NF) and Frizzle feathered (FF) chickens. Plumage colour is a notable qualitative trait in the Nigerian indigenous chickens. Three plumage... Continue here

Molecular Docking And Prediction Of Adme/drug-likeness Properties Of Potentially Active Neuroprotective Compounds In Mixed Ethanolic Extracts Of Rosmarinus Officinalis And Curcuma Longa
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by cholinergic dysfunction, making acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition a therapeutic target. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of phytoconstituents from Rosmarinus officinalis and Curcuma longa, aiming to identify and evaluate bioactive compounds as... Continue here

Assessment Of Environmental Nuclear Radiation Impact In Some Industrial Areas Of Lagos State
This study examined the effects of external background radiation in Lagos State, specifically focusing on six locations: Iganmu, Ilupeju, Apapa, Ikeja, Oregun, and Matori, selected for their frequent industrial activities. Using calibrated Geiger-Muller tubes with MX123-type tubes and a Digilert200 nuclear radiation monitor, we recorded an overall average... Continue here

Antimicrobial Resistance Profile Of Bacteria Isolated From Suya Meat Sold In Jos South Local Government Area Of Plateau State, Nigeria
Suya meat is a traditional meat product gotten from boneless meat hung on a stick and spiced with peanut cake, salt, vegetable oil and other flavours, followed by toasting around a glowing charcoal fire. Therefore, this study investigated the antibiotic resistance profile of bacteria isolated from suya meat, a widely consumed street-vended meat. A total of 40 suya... Continue here

Plasmid Curing Of Bacteria Isolated From Disinfectants Used In Four Hospitals
The presence of resistant plasmids (R-plasmids) in microorganisms allows them to evade antibiotics, complicating infection treatment. Disinfectants, though essential in infection control, can become contaminated, contributing to antimicrobial resistance in hospital environments. This study investigated plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated... Continue here

Proximate Composition And Phytoconstituents Of Justicia Carnea Leaf Meal As A Potential Livestock Feed Resource
With growing interest in natural and sustainable livestock feed supplements and health solutions, this study evaluated the proximate composition and phytochemical constituents of Justicia carnea leaf meal to assess its potential for animal use. Fresh leaves of Justicia carnea were collected from Akwa Ibom State University, Obio Akpa campus, shade-dried at... Continue here

Comparative Evaluation Of Acaricidal Effect Of Azadirachta Indica Crude Extract And Commercially Used Synthetic Acaricides Against Boophilus Annulatus Ticks (acari: Ixodidae)
Tick infestation remains one of the major health problems that affect the productivity and comfort of cattle. The control of ticks mainly relies on using chemical acaracides. Limited information is available on the potential benefits and activity of various neem extracts on Boophilus annulatus ticks. The present study investigated the acaricidal activity of neem...

Growth Performance And Nitrogen Utilisation Of Grower-finisher Pigs Fed Amino Acid Supplementation Of Low Crude Protein Diets
This study evaluated the effect of low crude protein (CP) diets supplemented with essential amino acids (AAs) on the growth performance and nitrogen (N) utilisation of grower-finisher pigs. Sixteen pigs were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments: a control diet (18% CP) and three low-CP diets (15, 12, and 9% CP) supplemented with lysine, methionine,... Continue here

Nutrient Profile Of Microbial Fermented Cassava (manihot Esculenta, Crantz) And Growth Response Of Broiler Chicken (gallus Domesticus, L.)
Cassava (Manihot esculenta, Crantz) is extensively grown in tropical areas like the Philippines, yet inefficient post-harvest practices result in substantial losses. Integrating cassava into poultry feed could help curb this waste and lower the rising expenses of poultry nutrition. However, its broader use is still constrained due to its comparatively low protein... Continue here
