A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of foliar application of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) on shoot and fruit borer of eggplant Solanum melongena and Solanum gilo in Ihiagwa Owerri. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four treatments replicated four...
Aims: This research work was designed to evaluate the ecotoxicity potentials of e-waste using Selenastrum capricornutum, Eisenia fetida and Allium cepa as bioindicators. Study Design: Selenastrum capricornutum and Allium cepa bulbs were exposed for 72 h at concentration ranging f...
A large proportion of human population spend significant part of their life in the outdoor environment due to activities relating to occupation and other lifestyle related events. This work was carried out fundamentally, to identify the bacterial community influencing the quality...
The traditional propagation technique of pear trees by grafting on quince, seedlings or clonal selection of Pyrus communis is not completely satisfactory. This is because of the lack of compatibility with some cultivars, heterogenesis of the pear seedlings and excess growth and a...
Background: Studies have shown that inadequate or lack of suitable complementary feeding is the major cause of PEM and micronutrient deficiency that leads to growth faltering and high rates of infection during infancy and early child hood. Objective: To evaluate the rheology and...
Aims: Lead (II) acetate 3-hydrate also known as lead acetate is a neurotoxin that accumulates in soft tissues and bones causing damage to the nervous system of the human body. Hence, this study investigated the effect of short-term administration of Lead (II) Acetate 3-hydrate on...
The aim of the review is to summarize the fragmented information on the effects of cattle crossbreeding on reproductive performance of cattle in different parts of the globe. The performance of animals depends not only on their genetic merit but also on other factors such as feed...
Accessory machine for single-phase complex agro-technology serves the sowing operation, and before that, and prepares the soil, which regulates all necessary physical and biological conditions for optimal growth and yield. With this physical operation, through the development, er...
Twenty three genera (46 species and 2 species variety) of endophytic fungi were isolated and identified from the leaves of Pluchea dioscoridis and Withania somnifera on GPY agar medium at 28°C. Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Setosphaeria were the most common genera iso...

Many contaminants (dyes, heavy metals and some inorganic substances) occur naturally through processes such as the weathering of rocks and human activities including the mining, processing and smelting of ore, and the nuclear and automotive industries. The release of contaminants...
This study was carried out to determine the in vitro antibacterial activities of honey and lime extract on pathogens isolated from stool samples using ciprofloxacin as control. Identification of the isolates was carried out using molecular characterisation, the sequence analysis...
Previous studies have improved Agrobacterium-mediated soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] cotyledonary node method by the development of a simple multi-needle-assisted wounding method using cotyledonary node cells of 1-day-old half seeds as target tissue. The goal of this study wa...
This paper focuses on new types of biopesticides, examine the specificity to harmful pests, and the selectivity to beneficial animals. Many of the modern pesticides used today, persist in soil for years and compound the store of toxins in the soil, air and water. The toxic build-...
