Spotlighting the Odogbolu Oil Palm Value Chain: A Pathway to Sustainable Intervention
Yusuf, Kareem Olaosebikan, Ajoniloju, Samuel Olatunde, Kareem, Olumide Hadi, Kamaldeen, Haleemat Ajoke
Oil palm cultivation is a vital agricultural activity among the inhabitants of the Odogbolu Local Government Area in Ogun State. Despite the importance of this value chain in both industrial and rural development, actors involved are struggling to expand their operations due to several challenges. This necessitates this study, which explored the oil palm value chain through interviews with 50 acto
Integrated Analysis of Land Use, Soil Saturation, and Runoff Generation in Hydrologically Sensitive Zones of an Choke Agricultural Watershed
Walelgn Dilnesa, Tesfaneh Getaw, Nebyu Kassahun
Evaluation of hydrologically sensitive areas was a big challenging issue, especially to identify and locate the particular areas. In the upper Blue Nile basin, hydrological sensitivity was a more and intensive phenomenon that leads to watershed alternativeltity with influencing the streamflow parameters. This watershed area leads to hydrologic sensitivity due to anthropogenic and natural factors

Wegene Demisie Jima, Serkalem Fekadu Desta, Ashenafi Bekele Gutema
Drones are an emerging technology currently utilized in agriculture for various applications. However, drone adoption in Ethiopian agriculture remains limited, despite the sector's vital role in the country's economy. This study uniquely aims to identify the key factors driving the use of drone technology and the challenges hindering its widespread adoption in Ethiopia. The research employed focus
The Fisheries of Rivers of Nigeria’s Niger Delta: Biodiversity, Abundance, Distribution and Sustainability Issues- A Critical Review
Christopher Nnamdi Onwuka
The exploitation and conservation practices of fisheries of Niger Delta, Nigeria have great impact on the management of these resources. The Niger Delta region is predominantly coastal in nature and embedded in fresh, brackish and marine waters, these form different degrees of ecosystems. The region is predominantly located in the southern part of Nigeria, bound by the Atlantic Ocean and enveloped

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) is considered one of the most important cereal crops after wheat, rice, maize, and barley in terms of cultivated area and production. This study investigated sorghum seed associated fungi stored in two different types of containers (koffo and plastic sacks) in Zoba Debub and Zoba Maekel. Germination rates and moisture content were assessed to identify fungal species th
Nutrient Digestibility and Nitrogen Retention in Yankasa Rams Fed Different Ratios of Groundnut Haulms and Concentrate in a Total Mixed Ration
Modu-Kagu, H.A., Girgiri, A.Y., Mohammed, A., Kolo, U.M., Babakura Imam, Y.3, Baba Ahmed, U., Ahmad, A. Y.
This study evaluated the chemical composition, nutrient digestibility, and nitrogen retention in growing rams fed diets formulated with varying levels of groundnut haulms. Four treatment diets were designed, with groundnut haulms progressively replaced by concentrate-based formulations. The crude protein (CP) content of the diets ranged from 9.03% to 13.50%, meeting the maintenance requirements fo
