This paper examines the challenges facing fish farming development in western kenya. Sample survey of 192 farmers representing the fish farming community in the area was used. The study result revealed that the high prices of fish feed, declining fish prices and lack of finance were found to be the

Olive psyllid Euphyllura straminea Loginova was recorded as a key pest in Egypt in 1988 on olive trees in El Arish and caused considerable losses in fruit yield. This work aims at evaluating the toxic and repellent effect of a natural phenol compound (3, 4 dihydroxy phenol ethanol) to control

This study examined the irrigation systems practiced in the Upper East Region of Ghana. It also estimated the farmers’ willingness to pay for improved access to water for irrigation. Descriptive statistics were used to assess the expenditure incurred in the irrigation systems. Logistic regression approach was used to estimate willingness

The comparative efficiency of organic and synthetic fertilizers were studied on maize and cowpea, two staple Nigerian crops. Chemical fertilizer did not support yield as much as poultry manure (PM) or arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), individual or in a combined state. The combination of PM and AMF was the best

The Study was conducted in Bara locality of North Kordofan state, for two consecutive winter seasons (2009/2010). The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of different types of organic fertilizers on soil chemical and physical properties, and on growth, yield and quality of tomatoes fruits. The experiment

The effects of four practical diets (3 commercial and one locally prepared) on growth, feed utilization and survival of catfish hybrid (Heterobranchus longifilis x Clarias gariepinus) fingerlings were compared in plastic aquaria in triplicates for 56days. Diets differed in crude protein (CP) and digestible energy as follows: Commercial Diet 1

The evaluation of nutrient composition in adult Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (CN), Clarias gariepinus (CG) and Heterobranchus bidorsalis (HB) was determined on wet basis. A total of 60 samples (weight: 500g – 1kg fish) comprising 20 of each species were gutted, washed, ground and analyzed for moisture, protein, fat, ash and carbohydrate,

This study was carried out to determine the effect of different light, temperature and salt concentration levels on dent (P 3394), sweet corn (Sunshine) hybrids and popcorn (local variety of Çanakkale) seeds which have different endosperm. In this study, research was conducted to evaluate the effect of two different light

Evaluation of the effect of spacing and pollarding height of Moringa oleifera intercropped with maize on growth, foliar and stems biomass production, maize yields and soil fertility improvement was conducted at Gairo (semi arid inland plateau) and Ruvu (sub-humid coastal area). Replicate trials were planted in a split-split plot design

Nitrogen fertilizers applied either in single or split application is the main agronomic inputs to sugarcane production. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of nitrogen fertilizer rates and split application on yield of first ratoon crop of late (CO 421) and early maturing (D 8484) sugarcane
