Nitrogen deficiency is a major factor limiting bean production in Africa. This problem can be alleviated by the use of nitrogen fertilizers which on the other hand adversely affect the environment. The problem can also be alleviated by the use of environmental friendly biological nitrogen fixation technology. In this study,

This review was done to highlight the worldwide contamination of foods and feeds with mycotoxins as a significant problem. Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of moulds that have adverse effects on humans, animals, and crops that result in illnesses and direct economic losses in crop yield and stored agricultural products. Aflatoxins,

Combining ability estimates of roselle cultivars were studied in a 6 x 6 half diallel analysis. The results showed significant entries, parents and crosses for all the traits studied in the individual and also in the poolled analysis, suggesting that roselle populations were highly variable for all the traits and

Collinearity (or multicollinearity) is the undesirable situation where the correlations among the independent variables are strong. Multicollinearity misleadingly inflates the standard errors and results in incorrect conclusions about relationships between dependent and predictor variables. Thus, it makes some variables statistically insignificant while they should be otherwise significant. It is like
