IMPACT OF INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND AGRONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF A COCOYAM- GROWN SOIL IN UMUDIKE, SOUTHEASTERN NIGERIA

A 3-year field experiment was conducted from 2015 through 2017 cropping seasons at the Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria, Eastern Research Station, Umuahia to assess the impact of integrated nutrient management on the physical/chemical properties and agronomic efficiency of a cocoyam-grown soil environment. This experiment was fitted in a 3 x 3 factorial arrangement in randomized complete blo

VOLUNTARY FEED INTAKE AND GROWTH RESPONSE OF CLARIAS GARIEPINUS FINGERLINGS TO AD LIBITUM

The research was carried out to evaluate the establishment of ad libitum by weight in the nutrition of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings. Ninety (90) fingerlings were procured from a commercial Fish Farm and used for the study in a completely randomized design. C. gariepinus fingerlings were stocked at ten fish per square meter density for 3 different feeds (Aller aqua as T1, Coppensas T2 and Skretti

EFFECTS OF WATER PHYSICOCHEMICAL VARIATIONS ON THE HATCHABILITY AND SURVIVAL OF CLARIAS GARIEPINUS (BURCHELL, 1822) LARVAE

This study investigated the effects of physicochemical parameters of four different water sources on hatchability and survival of Clarias gariepinus larvae. The water sources used were: rain water (T1), borehole water (T2), river water (T3) and well water (T4). The study entailed artificial induced breeding of C. gariepinus using the aforementioned water sources as incubation and culture medium of

EFEECT OF DIFFERENT LAND USE ON SELECTED SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

Deforestation is one of the anthropogenic activities that potentially reduce soil quality. Hence, a study was carried out in Ikole-Ekiti, Southwestern Nigeria to evaluate the effect of conversion of secondary forest (SFR) to cashew plantation (CPL), oil palm plantation (OPP) and leucaena plantation (LPL), on selected soil physical properties. Soil samples were taken from 0 – 15 cm and 15 – 30
