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
Survival of Pyricularia Oryzae on Rice Residues used in Manure Processes in Madagascar

Manure constitutes the principal fertilization of rice field in the Vakinankaratra region. Adding rice residues on the cattle excretion was recommended to improve manure composition. However, adding rice residues infected by Pyricularia oryzae, could play a role on the onset of rice blast disease in the field. To evaluate this risk, the survival of P. oryzae on rice residues used in different scen
Effects of Desiccation and Post-Harvest Treatments on the Germinability of Threatened Timber Species: Afzelia africana SM. and Chrysophyllum albidum Linn
Blessing Alfred Ngele, Anobeja Effa Effa, Ani Essien Nkang
Deforestation, biodiversity loss, and increasing demand for timber have intensified interest in cultivating high-value cabinet timber species in the tropics. This study examined the effects of desiccation and post-harvest treatments on the germinability of two rainforest species: Afzelia africana Sm. and Chrysophyllum albidum Linn. Data collected included seed germinability and electrolyte leakage
