This study was designed to analyze agricultural credit risks and defaults management by banks in Imo State. Data were collected with the use of structured and validated questionnaire from 12 purposively selected bank branches and 72 randomly selected farmer loan beneficiaries in the state. Data were analyzed using means, percentages,

This study analyzed the technical efficiency and the sources of inefficiency in large scale and small scale rice production in Imo State, Nigeria during the 2009 cropping season, using a stochastic frontier production function which incorporates a model for inefficiency effects. A sample of 160 farmers selected using the multi-stage

Three different ash materials (kitchen wood ash –KWA, oil palm bunch ash-PBA and timber saw mill ash- SDA) applied at the rates of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 tons/ha were incorporated in an Ultisol planted with sweetpotato to evaluate their effects on yield and crop quality, using sweet potato

This study was performed under three location conditions (Kahramanmaras-Center/Turkey, Kahramanmaras-Goksun district/Turkey and Malatya-Darende district/Turkey) in year 2008 with six common beans genotypes (Gungor, Yakutiye-98, Aras-98, Onceler-98, Goynuk-98 and a local genotype). The experiments were carried out in order to determine the relationships between seed yield and yield components. Direct and

This study was carried out at Ivo, Ohaozara and Onicha L.G.As. to compare selected chemical properties of soils in those areas. Four replicates of soil samples were collected in each L.G.A. at depths of 0 to 30 cm using soil auger. These soil samples were used for the determination of

An important process for stabilizing high protein agricultural products is through fermentation which uses specific microorganisms. Costs involved in the supply of such organisms can be a major component of the cost of the fermented product. Soy milk is currently produced in abundance in Nigeria and part of it is

Crosses were made between eight cotton genotypes in a full diallel crossing pattern in 2005/2006 at the Research Farm of the School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology, Yola. The resulting 56 F1 hybrids along with their parents were evaluated in the cropping season of 2007 in Yola, Adamawa State and

Application of associative bacteria for sustainable agriculture holds immense potential. These bacteria are known to enhance growth and yield of plants by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilization of phosphate, production of phytohormones and siderophores, possession of antagonistic activity as well as reducing the level of stress ethylene in host plants.
