ABSTRACT

Greenhouse study was conducted at Federal University Oye- Ekiti, Department of Soil Science and Land Resources Management between June and August 2016 to compare the growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) using different rates of organic (Tithonia diversifolia) and Inorganic fertilizer. The effect of the amendments on the soil chemical properties was also evaluated. The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. Tithonia diversifolia was applied at 10 and 20t/ha and inorganic fertilizer applied at 2000kg/ha and 400kg/ha. Plant growth parameters were taken at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after planting. Results of Plant height, stem girth, Number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, biomass accumulation and nutrient uptake showed that growth and yield of maize were significantly (P

3. Effects Of Intercropping Maize (Zea Mays) With Butternuts (Cucurbita Moschata) At Varying Butternut Population Levels On Maize Growth, Yield And Weed Supression

ABSTRACT Intercropping is a cultural technique which gives crops a competitive advantage on weeds therefore contributes to weed management. There is need to choose the plant population which results in weed suppression whilst not negatively affecting the component crops yield. The experiment was set in a Randomised Complete Block Design with 5... Continue Reading

4. The Effect Of Fever Tea Tree (Lippia Javanica) In The Control Of Maize Weevil (Sitophilus Zeamais) In Stored Maize (Zea Mays)

ABSTRACT Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky is the major insect pest seen damaging stored maize in Zimbabwe. The environmental hazards of synthetic insecticides, the unreliability supply and high costs of these chemicals resulted in the search for cheaper and safer use of the naturally available plant material to control this pest. This study... Continue Reading

5. GROWTH RATE AND BIOMASS ACCUMULATION IN FORAGE MAIZE (Zea mays), FORAGE MILLET (Echinochloa uiilis), ELEPHANT GRASS (Pennisetumpupereum) and GAMBA GRASS (Andropogon gayanus)

ABSTRACT To have higher profits and sustained production of livestock it is important to understand the biomass accumulation and growth rate of the forages the animals feed on. This project work looked into the growth and biomass accumulation of forage maize (Zea mays), forage millet (Echinochloa uti/is), elephant grass (Pennisetum purpereum) and... Continue Reading

8. EVALUATION OF THE SUPPRESSIVE EFFECT OF THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF TITHONIA DIVERSIFOLIA ON PLASMODIUM BERGHEI IN LABORATORY MICE

ABSTRACT The evaluation of the anti malarial properties of the essential oil extract of Tithoniadiversifolia was carried out using the standard tests suppressive tests in laboratorymice. The Swiss albino mice were infected with rodent malaria parasite(Plasmodium berghei berghei) and were treated with 300mg/kg, 600mg/kg and1200mg/kg dose of the oil... Continue Reading

10. Science of Using Maize Varieties Against Helicoverpa Zea in Niger State

Corn varieties were selected based on genetic differences to assess the most resistant cultivar and a landrace was used as a control experimental specie. The trial was conducted at the horticultural nursery and later the research was finalised at the laboratory where the laboratory data were collected and subjected to statistical analysis. ...
