Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of nutrient sources and transplanting age on the growth and yield of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) at teaching and research farm of Bauchi State College of Agriculture (10o22’N and 9o47’E), during the rainy season of 2020. The treatment consisted of three nutrient sources (poultry manure, chicken feather and inorganic fertilizer), a control and three transplanting ages (0, 2 and 3 weeks old). These were factorially

Abstract: Durum wheat is a preferred raw product for pasta making due to its gluten strength. Nitrogen and Sulfur are nutrients required both for yield and quality. A replicated field trial was conducted at two locations in 2011 in southeast Ethiopia to evaluate profitability of nitrogen and Sulfur fertilization in durum wheat. Net benefit, marginal rate of return, residual and value-cost ratio were the economic parameters used for evaluation.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different plant extracts on the post-harvest of Persimmon fruit. The experiment was laid out in CRD (complete randomized design) with two factors keeping 12 fruits per treatment and replicated three times. Factor A was Plant Extracts i.e. (moringa, garlic, marigold and lemon grass) while factor B was storage durations i.e. (0,7,14,21 and 28) days.

Abstract: Laboratory tests were carried out to investigate inherent quality differences among stored seeds of early, intermediate and late-maturing quality protein maize using completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications at the Seed Testing Laboratory of the Institute of Agricultural Research and Training, Obafemi Awolowo University, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Nigeria for two consecutive years (2014 and 2015). From the results, germination and accelerated ageing germination traits were affected by the storage period.

Abstract: Phytopathogens have beleaguered the island of Ireland since the 19th century great famine caused by the potato blight oomycete, Phytophthora infestans and in recent times by cohorts of serious bacterial wilt diseases such as Erwinia, Dickeya, Ralstonia, and fungal wilt diseases predominantly caused by saprophyte fungi (e.g. Fusarium oxysporum, Pythium, Rhizoctonia) have all shown their growing resistance to various conventional chemical control agents, and create enormous impact on sustainable agriculture, further exacerbated by global climate change pressures.

Abstract: Malondialdehyde is a marker of lipid peroxidation and redox signaling and is used in many researches in the field of plant and biomedical investigations, possibly due to its simple measurement procedure. However, there are some challenges with its measurements which have been discussed in this communication along with possible solutions.
