Frontiers of Innovation: A Comprehensive Assessment of The Revolutionizing Design Approach To Moringa Seed Oil And Its Economic Application
Nnadikwe Johnson, Nwosi Hezekiah Andrew, Onuruka Anthony Uzodinma
Moringa oleifera, a tropical and subtropical crop, is poised to revolutionize the biofuel industry with its valuable resource, moringa seed oil. This innovative design approach harnesses the power of moringa seed oil as a sustainable and efficient fuel option. With each fruit containing 6-10 seeds, yielding 38-40% colorless and odorless vegetable oil, moringa seed oil is rich in oleic acid, making
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
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

Abdulyekeen Olanrewaju Abdulraheem, Obidah Baba Waziri, Abba Mohammed, Usman Muhammad Kolo, Abdulrazaq Onimisi Raji, Jibrin Aliyu
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
