The consumption of maize and cowpea in Africa and developing countries is high,owing to the fact that they are readily available,coupled the with nutritional benefits they provide.Growth loss has been seen in crops cu...
The objective of this study was to characterize environment factors involved in loss of seed viability during storage in open granaries. The temperature and relative humidity of the granary as well as the equilibrium ...
Intercropping is a production system that involves the growing of two or more crops simultaneously on the same piece of land.In intercropping,the component species are not necessarily sown at the same time and their h...
Adjustment of planting geometry along with suitable maize cultivar can be a viable tool for maximizing land usage and net return. A two-year study was carried out at Serw Agricultural Experiments and Research Station,...
Maize forage is poor in protein content which leads to low quality and nutritive value.Regarding the high feed costs of protein supplementations,legumes can be used in livestock nutrition for their high protein conten...
The effects of petroleum products (kerosene, diesel, engine oil and petrol) treatment of soil at various sublethal concentrations (0.0%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%) on oxidative stress markers (lipid perox...
A study to assess the effect of intercropping maize (Zea mays L.) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) within the same basin or outside the basin on root length density (RLD) was conducted at the International Crop Resea...
The effect of crude oil pollution on heavy metal content in the soil, microbial population, and growth performance of maize and cowpea was investigated. The heavy metals determined were lead, cadmium, iron, nickel, zi...
In a long term study photosynthetically active radiation was monitored for three rainy seasons to measure the effects of hedgerow intercropping in rotation with maize and cowpea in a senna/siamea and panicum/grass str...
