Variability of Iron and Zinc Concentration in Some Rice Germplasms in Nigeria

D. A. Ayeleke, Andrew Saba Gana, M.T. Salaudeen, O. A. Falusi

Developing rice (Oryza sativa) varieties high in iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) content is a veritable approach for reversing the increasing trend of micronutrient deficiency affecting sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, including Nigeria. The lack of empirical data on the amount of iron …

Optimization of priming duration for rice production under drought stress

Isiaka Kareem, Saliu Adeyemi Kareem, S. Y. Abdulmaliq, O.F. Adekola et autres

The type of priming chemical and the duration of priming are important factors determining the performance of plants resulting from priming treatment. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the effects of different priming agents and soaking durations on growth and yield …

NPK partitioning, growth, yield and proximate composition of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) under water deficit stress

Isiaka Kareem, Faseyi Anuoluwa Faith, Saliu Adeyemi Kareem, S. Y. Abdulmaliq et autres

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of drought stress on growth yield, NPK partitioning and nutritional composition of okra. To achieve this objective, four levels of water deficit stress (daily (control), a day interval, two days interval and three days …

Growth and yield variability of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars infected with cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus disease

D. A. Ayeleke, M.T. Salaudeen, Andrew Saba Gana

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is a major legume crop with diverse uses in Nigeria. Its productivity is however threatened by Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus (CABMV) in most groundnut producing areas, resulting in huge losses. This study was conducted to determine the resistance of …

Growth and yield components of some groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cultivars infected with blackeye cowpea mosaic virus

Abla Ibrahim, M.T. Salaudeen, L.Y. Bello, A.A. Abdullahi et autres

Blackeye cowpea mosaic virus (BlCMV) is a major virus, infecting legumes with attendant huge losses. Cultivation of resistant varieties is the most effective and sustainable control strategy. Therefore, some groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) cultivars were evaluated against BlCMV in Minna, Southern Guinea savanna …
