Explore Project Topics on: effects of Bush burning on soil

ABSTRACT Bush burning removes the natural vegetation cover that protects the soil surface. This exposes the land to the effects of wind and water erosion. It should however noted that burning on agricultural lands in Okada in Ovia North East Local Government Area attention was focused on the merit and demerit of burning agricultural land in...

ABSTRACT Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons are some of the known organic pollutants resulting from incomplete combustion of organic matter. They have been found to be carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic. Much of the previous works on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons have been on foods, water, dumpsites and on soil generally. However, this study... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT In this work, an experiment to determine the effects of different tillage practices on the rate of soil infiltration were carried out. Udenu Local Government of Enugu State which is my hometown was taken as a case study. For this experiment to be carried out a piece of land which was divided into four different plots of land were used.... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT The project was carried out to produce slow burning candle for domestic uses. The project was carried out using the following apparatus; Reactor [20 litres in volume], bussen, Beaker (400ml) and wick. The chemical/raw material used in the production are wax, wick, cathyl alcohol, white colourant and... Continue Reading
