ABSTRACTThis study examined information flow on minisett technology among yam farmers in Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 180 respondents was involved in the study. Data were obtained from respondents of the study through the use of a validated interview schedule. Percentage, frequency count and mean scores were used to summarize data, while line diagrams were used to develop maps of info...
متن کاملIn vitro propagation of wild yam, Dioscorea wightii through nodal cultures
In vitro culture of Dioscorea wightii belongs to the family Dioscoreace. An efficient micropropagation protocol was developed for the medicinal plant Dioscorea wightii using nodal segments for axillary shoot proliferation. Callus initiation was stimulated at the basis of the explants in 100% of the cultures by 0.15-1.75μM BA, 0.75-5.0μM Kinetin, 0.15-0.30μM 2iP.The average fresh mass of calluse...
متن کاملAeroponics: An Alternative Production System for High-Value Root Crops
An aeroponic system was developed for the production of root crops used in the herbal and phytopharmaceutical industries. The variability in the phytochemical quality of botanical products precludes the ability to administer uniform dosing in clinical studies. Aeroponic systems allow the producer to precisely control root zone nutrient and water regimes and environmental conditions, as well as ...
متن کاملRetention of iron and zinc in yam flour and boiled yam processed from white yam (D. rotundata) varieties
This study investigated the impact of processing on retention of iron and zinc in D. rotundata. Fresh tubers were processed into boiled yam and yam flour and analyzed for zinc, iron, and physicochemical properties. Percent true retention (%TR) was assessed using paired samples and a formula that compensated for loss or gain of moisture and soluble solids. The retention of iron ranged from 55.5%...
