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

This study assessed genetic diversity of Nigerian dromedary camels in Maiduguri at phenotypic and biochemical levels. A total of seventy adult camels; grey (31), brown (39) coat-types of both sexes, were used. Morphological traits examined were; body height, body length, hump height, height at withers, heart girth, neck length and neck circumference. Cellulose Acetate Electrophoresis was used to a
Effect of Different Levels of Crude Oil Contamination on Germination and Chemical Properties of Soil Grown with Maize and Okra
Onyiba, P. O., Asa, A. A and Okoh, T.
This study was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of crude oil contamination on a sandy loam soil grown with maize (Zea mays L.) and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) in pots. The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomised Design (CRD) with four replicates. The factors comprised of four levels of crude oil contamination (0%, 0.5%, 2% and 5% v/w) and two test crops (maiz
