The parasitic angiosperms, Striga hermonthica and S. gesnerioides , obligate root parasites endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, constitute severe constraints to cereal legume production West Central Africa. Over the years, a range of effective component technologies has been identified for control potential these demonstrated under researcher-managed conditions. To promote farmer testing technologies, community workshops were conducted 42 rural communities Kaduna State, northern Nigeria. These...
Healthy seeds samples of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subteranea L.) and sesame (Sesamum indicum commonly found in Nasarawa State, Nigeria were studied for comparative nutritional evaluation with respect to proximate amino acid compositions using standard analytical techniques. The respective composition values (%) the Sesame were: (10.39 3.53), crude protein (25.68 9.67), fat (25.67 3.44), ash (7.12 2.42) fibre 3.53). calculated nitrogen-free extract (NFE) was 26.10 71.07% respectively. results...
On-farm trials were conducted in the northern Guinea savanna of Nigeria. The objective was to compare integrated Striga hermonthica control measures (soyabean or cowpea trap crop first year followed by maize resistant second year) with farmers' traditional practices (cereal-based cropping systems) under farmer-managed conditions. Integrated proved be highly effective terms reducing incidence both reduced seed density soil and decreased infection maize. Resistant following soyabean yielded...
Two sets of on-farm trials, each covering two years, were conducted in the northern Guinea savannah Nigeria over period 1999–2001, objective being to compare integrated Striga hermonthica control measures (soybean or cowpea trap crops followed by maize resistant ) with farmers' traditional cereal-based cropping systems. In both this proved be highly effective increasing productivity year period, especially where soybean was used as a crop. Resistant after crop increased net benefit seasons...
A survey was conducted during dry and rainy seasons of 2011 in order to determine the phytosociological attributes acquatic weeds Kano-Hadeja-Nguru wetlands. Random quadrat method adopted for studies. The study areas consisted communities from Kano, Jigawa Yobe States. In each state, six were randomly selected. community20 quadrats 4 m2 size laid down hence sum 120 thrown state. Within area, identified, counted weed cover scores recorded. Weeds cut at ground level, fresh weights determined....
Study’s Novelty/Excerpt This study investigates the co-existence of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) and quinolone resistance among clinical Enterobacteriaceae isolates, highlighting high prevalence multidrug (MDR) extensive drug (XDR). By employing VITEK-2 Compact automated identification system, research demonstrates that a significant proportion quinolone-resistant are also ESBL-positive, with co-resistance observed primarily in Escherichia coli Klebsiella pneumoniae. These...
Citrus is one of the most consumed fruit crops in world, its peels are often discarded, contributing to environmental pollution. This study aims at extracting bioactive compounds these wastes and showing possible effect digestion on type amount phytochemicals present. Using maceration, five solvents (Acetone, dichloromethane, methanol, n-hexane distilled water) were used for extraction phytochemical detection quantification performed using reagent methods. Simulated gastro intestinal...
Background: Trypanosomiasis is a disease of vertebral animals caused by parasitic protozoa the genus Trypanosoma. It one neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affecting about 36 countries Sub-saharan Africa, threatening more than 60 million people and 70 animals. Chemotherapy major means controlling African trypanosomiasis limited rapid drug resistance, toxicity high cost. There an urgent need for therapeutic agents that are effective, affordable, accessible to rural poor in Africa who greatly...
Three years field studies were conducted at teaching and research farm of faculty Agriculture, Bayero University Kano to evaluate the effect various tillage practices on weed control yield groundnut. The study consisted nine (9) treatments comprising two (2) zero tilled, three (3) minimum four (4) conventional arranged in randomized complete block design with replications. Identification weeds was made species level data collected count, cover score dry weight. At maturity, groundnut stand...
The study was conducted to determine the effect of antitranspirants and moisture stress on productivity tomato. treatments consisted two (Benzoic Salicylic acids) at (0, 200, 400 600 ppm) concentration three stages (vegetative, flowering fruit setting). These were arranged in a split-plot design replicated times. Antitranspirant constituted main plots while concentrations assigned sub-plots. Data collected analysed for plant height, leaf area index (LAI), fresh weight, fruits diameter,...
Cowpea is the leading food legume for many households in arid and semi-arid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. The erratic rainfall leads to decrease cowpea yield. Zaï pit technology an ancestral agricultural technique used water fertilizer management crops production increasing productivity. A study was carried out Burkina Faso during 2020 2021 dry season at Kamboinsin Kouare with objective evaluating effects depth on yield components. Treatments consisted use three depths (control (tillage);...
