<title>Abstract</title> A two-year field study investigated the effects of varying rates fertilizer NPK 20.10.10 and timing application on vegetative growth biomass yield <italic>T. vogelii</italic> (Fish bean) at area in 2019 2020 cropping seasons. Treatments consisted three N.P.K 20.10.10. (0, 100 200 kg/ha) two periods (pre-anthesis pod commencement), giving a combination 3 x 2 = 18 treatments. Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with replications was used to disperse all treatments...
Abstract Soybean (Glycine max L., Merr.) is considered to have relatively high level of reproductive abscission, but research information on how fertilizer use influences this problem scanty. Field trials were therefore carried out for two seasons (1996 and 1998) investigate the abscission levels three soybean cultivars (TGX 536‐02D, TGM 579, Samsoy 11) as affected by foliar application urea during early stages. Flowering was not significantly increased application, although all fertilized...
The effect of 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500mg/ml carbamate molluscicide on the behavioural macroscopic changes Limicolaria aurora were investigated in laboratory using Carica papaya as bait for 120h. data showed that 48h after dosing organism with furadan, 60% mortality was recorded. Above 200mg/ml deters snails from feeding becomes sub-lethal. Journal Applied Sciences Environmental Management Vol. 9(1) 2005: 99-102
Hybrid rice technology has been recognized as a viable approach in increasing the genetic yield.Introducing some hybrid varieties Nigerian Niger Delta region will ultimately increase national production, and attain self-sufficiency food security enshrined country's National Rice Policy.Field studies were carried out to evaluate performance of four Chinese (9you 418, 9you138, Xudao151and Xuyou601) comparison with FARO 15, best conventional variety Cross River rain forest zone Nigeria.Result...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important staple crop, especially for resource-poor populations. Cassava-based diets are rich in calories but grossly deficient essential mineral elements. A field study southeastern Nigeria aimed at increasing yields and concentrations of bioavailable elements a β-carotene cassava variety, UMUCASS 38 (TMS 01/1371), through agronomic biofortification. randomized complete block design experiment triplicate, with foliar application Zn (3.0 kg ha−1 as...
Field experiments were conducted between November 2011 and May 2014 at the Crop Science Teaching Research Farm of University Calabar, (Southeastern rainforest agro-ecological zone Nigeria) to determine effectiveness Iodine agronomic fortification cassava. The field experiment was a 2x3x4 factorial arranged in randomized complete block design replicated three times, using two cassava varieties,( TME 419 TMS 30555); four iodine rates( 0, 2.5, 5.0 10.0) kg/ha KI; applied 8, 10 12 WAP....
Aim: A field study was conducted during the late cropping seasons of 2015 and 2016 at Akamkpa (latitude 5°15 ' N longitude 8°22' E), south southern Nigeria, to evaluate response some legume genotypes seed inoculation with NoduMax, a Rhizobium inoculant developed by International Institute Tropical Agriculture (IITA).Study Design Methodology: Treatments were factorial combinations inoculated noninoculated seeds Cowpea, Groundnut, Bambara groundnut, Bebi (Viny Lima) bean, Mucuna African yam...
Thirty-three Cowpea lines were screened in a greenhouse at Ibadan, southwest Nigeria for response to four cowpea viruses, namely the bean common mosaic Potyvirus-blackeye strain (BCMV-BIC), aphid - borne Potyvirus (CABMV), Mottle Carmovirus (CMeV) and southern Sobevirus (SBMV). Disease severity was scored from; 1=no infection, 5=very severe infection. Symptomless serologically tested with protein-A sandwich enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (PAS-ELISA) distinguish latent infection from...
