ABSTRACT The   experiment   was   carried   out   to   investigate   the   effect   of   cement   dust   pollution   onAmaranthus viridis in respect to growth, heavy metal uptake and the plant in general. Loamysoil was polluted with Dangote cement in a ratio of (100:1). It was observed that the presenceof cement dust in... Continue Reading

6) EVALUATION OF PHYTOCHEMICAL, NUTRITIONAL, AND MINERAL COMPOSITIONS OF SOME SELECTED CAPSICUM SPECIES FRUIT

ABSTRACT Fruit of Capsicum are among the most consumed spices throughout the world and are very important commercially. Plant bioactive compounds are increasingly gaining more attention because of their effectiveness in improving human health and nutrition. The sturdy was aimed at determining the phytochemical, mineral, and nutritional... Continue Reading

7) EFFECT OF TYPE OF CUTTINGS ON ROOTING OF ANACARDIUM

Vegetative p ropagation method through induction of adventitious rooting in  both softwood and semi- hardwood hypocotyl plus stem (HpS) and juvenile stem (JS) was reported in  Anacardium  occidentale , an average size tropical evergreen tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. The induction of adventitious roots is an essential process in... Continue Reading

8) 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

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

11) EFFECTS OF CHARCOAL PRODUCTION ON TREE DENSITY COVER AND WOOD VOLUME IN YEREGI MALETE KWARA STATE

ABSTRACT After clearing for crops, logging is the most important human-driven factor responsible for the reduction of forest cover in sub-Saharan Africa. In general, wood represents about 86% of household energy consumption and the demand is expected to rise to 45% over the next 30 years due to the population growth and increasing needs in this...

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...
