High population has led to more demand for food. Subsequently, there is need to expand agricultural land. This has necessitated cutting down of trees. This has led to soil degradation. Nutrient depleted soils and poor cropping systems such as continuous cropping, have contribute...
Coscinium fenestratum is getting endangered due to the extensive exploitation for medicinal use. Irrespective to the profuse seed set, occurrence of seedlings in the wild is meager that prompted a seed study. As a dioecious liana, female plants bear fruits even in the absence of...
The study aimed to estimate the TE, AE, and EE levels and identified sources of the inefficiency of maize production in Damot Sore district in southern Ethiopia. A three-stage probability random sampling technique was used to select 384 sample farmers. The descriptive statistics,...
The objective of this research was to provide a framework for the study of induction of thermogenesis by aspirin, salicylic acid, and 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid in detached sporophylls from male cones of six cycad species. The thermogenic species were: Zamia elegantissima Schutzma...
One of the main challenges of making Nano catalysts is choosing and preparing suitable modifiers. The present study reports the synthesis of carbon Nano dots by a low-cost hydrothermal method using Indigofera tinctoria leaf extract as a new carbon precursor. The optical propertie...
