ABSTRACT   A study was carried out to investigate the effects of sulphuric acid, hot water and soaking of seed in water treatments on the germination of Bambara nut (V. subterranea) seeds were planted in poly pots for germination. 40 seeds of Vigna subterranea (one per poly pot) with ten replicates each were used. The highest germination was... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted during the 2011/2011 cropping season at Plant Science and Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Biological Sciences, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, to study the callus induction of garlic ( Allium sativum L.) at various combinations and concentrations of growth regulators and also to develop an efficient...

The effect of different treatments of breaking seed dormancy of Parkia biglobosa seeds were studied in this project work. The results of different treatments observed showed 88% for concentrated H2SO4, 80% for scarification (with scalpel) and 52% for dry heat while the untreated seed (control) is 40% germination. The speed of germination for some... Continue Reading

This study focused on elucidating the anatomy of Moringa oleifera seed and developing an efficient and cost effective procedure for using Moringa oleifera seeds to produce natural coagulant for use in drinking water treatment. The study investigates processing Moringa oleifera seeds to concentrate the bio-active constituents which have coagulation... Continue Reading

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

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

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

         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

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

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...

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

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...

ABSTRACT The effect of three different concentrations of sucrose namely 2, 3 and 4% were investigated on the in vitro regeneration of embryo explants of Treculia africana Decne. on the media of Murashige and Skoog (MS) (1962) and Gamborg et al. (B5) (1968) respectively without any growth regulator. The experimental design was a 2 x 5 factorial in... Continue Reading
