The induction of adventitious roots is an essential process in... Continue Reading

7) NUTRITIONAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CONTENTS OF PEPPER (CAPSICUM SPP)

         ABSTRACT Pepper (Capsicum spp) belongs to the family Solanaceae. It is an important vegetable crop in Nigeria as it is one of the most varied and widely used foods in Nigeria as virtually every Nigerian home consumes it on a daily basis. The genus Capsicum represents a diverse plant group and includes twenty-seven species; five... Continue Reading

8) BREAKING SEED DORMANCY IN BAMBARA NUT (VIGNA SUBTERRANEA (L) VERDC)

ABSTRACT   A study was carried out to investigate the effects of sulphuric acid, hot water and soaking of seed in water treatments on the germination of Bambara nut (V. subterranea) seeds were planted in poly pots for germination. 40 seeds of Vigna subterranea (one per poly pot) with ten replicates each were used. The highest germination was... Continue Reading

9) EVALUATION OF CASSAVA GROWTH AND YIELD AS INFLUENCE BY VARIETIES, AGE AND PORTION

ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of Federal University of  Technology Akure, to determine influence of variety, stem age and portion on growth and stem  yield of cassava. The experiment was a 3 by 2 by 3 factorial in a Randomized Complete Block  Design with three replications. Stems of three different... Continue Reading

12) EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MARAMA BEAN (TYLOSEMA ESCULENTUM), AN UNDERUTILIZED GRAIN AND TUBER PRODUCING LEGUME IN SOUTHERN AFRICA

ABSTRACT The potential of the Marama bean plant, Tylosema esculentum (Burch.) Schreiber, a drought-tolerant, bean–bearing legume, native to Southern Africa, was investigated to potentially form part of a food-based approach in rural agricultural extension programmes. Nutrient content and sensory attributes of roasted Marama beans were determined... Continue Reading

13) THE DIET OF THE BLACK MONGOOSE (GALERELLA NIGRATA) (CARNIVORA: HERPESTIDAE) IN NORTH-WEST (HOBATERE CONCESSION) AND NORTH-CENTRAL (ERONGO CONSERVANCY), NAMIBIA.

ABSTRACT The black mongoose (Galerella nigrata) (Carnivora: Herpestidae) is a diurnal predator that favours rocky habitats. It is endemic to southwest Africa. Due to its elusive behaviour, the ecology of the black mongoose has not been studied and only little ecological information is documented about this species. The general objective of this...
