Today, agriculture is characterized by low yields due to continuous cropping and subsequent mining of nutrients without adequate external additions. The study was conducted to examine the effects of different organic manures and mineral fertilizer input on maize grown on volcanic soil of the Mt Cameroon area under minimum tillage.

Phosphate sorption capacity, bonding energy and buffering capacity of wetland soils in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria were assessed for effective and sustainable soil management. Three wetland types (inland depression, river floodplain and coastal swamp) were selected for the study. In each wetland type, three locations were selected (9 locations) and

A 45-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary inclusion of Polyalthia longifolia leaf meal as phytobiotic compared with antibiotics on the nutrient retention, immune response and serum biochemistry of broiler chicks fed corn-soya meal diet. One hundred and fifty day old chick (Ross 308) of mixed

This study was conducted to examine the haematological and some serum biochemical indices of growing Isa cockerels fed diets supplemented with Azolla- turmeric mixture. One hundred and twenty (120) four weeks old Isa white cockerels were divided into four groups with three replicates, each of ten birds in a completely

African trypanosomiasis is a disease complex, prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, influencing both public health and agricultural development. The disease is also becoming increasingly prevalent beyond its traditionally defined realm. Studies have shown that migration increases the risk of cattle being infected with trypanosomes and that Trypanosoma brucei populations in cattle

The study was carried out to determine the nutrient composition, anti-nutritional factors and mineral content of crop residues and kitchen wastes fed to small ruminants in Choba and to ascertain the best crop residues and kitchen wastes suitable to these animals. The samples of crop residues and kitchen wastes commonly

The objective of this study was to compare egg quality and yield in laying hens of two different housing systems indoor and free range. In this study, 120 H&N (Nick-Chick) white egg layer pullets were used. They were divided to equally two groups free range and indoor housing system. Indoor

Background: Weeds are responsible for low crop yield, and responsible for the large gap between the potential and actual yield per hectare. The traditional manual method of weed control in Nigeria has become very difficult and expensive, because of the cost of hiring labor, particularly during the peak cropping period,

Ethiopia, as the center of origin for Coffea arabica, hosts a large diversity of germplasm. Besides drastic reduction in the forest cover and low average yield, the crop is attacked by several diseases, among that coffee leaf rust; coffee berry disease and coffee wilt disease are the major fungal diseases

The study was aimed to assess fishing activity, Fish production and demand outlook in Ilu Abba Bora Zone, Oromia Regional State, South West Ethiopia to generate base-line data that would help in the proper and sustainable utilization of fishery resources. Different reports, field assessment, structured and semi-structured questionnaires and observation
