Constraints to Postharvest Handling among Sweet Orange Farmers in Benue State, Nigeria
Oluwafunmilayo Olarewaju Aminu, Lukman Abiodun Akinbile
Beyond the threat to food security, constraints to postharvest handling adversely affect farmers' profitability, fruit market value, viability and availability. This study examined postharvest handling constraints of sweet orange farmers in Benue State, Nigeria. Orange farmers (235) were randomly sampled from orange-producing communities (eight) and LGAs (4) in Benue State. Orange farm size was 15

Low-income countries are concerned with increasing livestock productivity to improve income and food supply. This study aimed at determining contribution and constraints in rearing of Small East Africa Zebu (SEAZ) and Tyrolean Grey cattle crosses (TGZ).The potential of SEAZ and TGZ cattle have not been fully exploited. Tyrolean Grey cattle (TG) is indigenous to the alpine region of Austria, was in
Farmers’ Perception of Integrated Watershed Management as a Climate Solution in Northern Ethiopia
Kassa Teka, Freweyni Mahari, Tigist Araya Gessess, Yemane Welday, Madelene Ostwald
Since 1997, the concept of using Integrated Watershed Management (IWM) to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change has been recognized in the Ethiopian development strategies. While IWM has proven effective in reducing land degradation and enhancing socio-economic benefits, there is limited scientific evidence on local farmers’ perception of its role in adapting and mitigating climate chang
Eco-Friendly Innovation: Harnessing the Remarkable Bio Remediation Potential of Vernonia SPP for Sustainable Restoration of Hydrocarbon-Polluted Clay Soil in Ogoni Land Nigeria
Nnadikwe Johnson, Nwosi Hezekiah Andrew, Unyime Enobong Okure, Ewelike Asterius Dozie, Onuruka Anthony Uzodinma
This study harnesses the bio-remediation potential of Vernonia spp. to restore hydrocarbon-polluted clay soil in Ogoni Land, Nigeria. Our research explores the eco-friendly and sustainable use of Vernonia spp. to promote soil restoration while minimizing external additives. Greenhouse experiments assessed the bio-remediation efficiency of Vernonia spp. in different soil conditions, analyzing physi
