Fusarium oxysporum attacks Bambara groundnut at all stages of development. Attack prior to seed germination results in pre-emergence damping-off disease that can lead losses crop stands which eventually reduce yield. Dry and wet season field trials were conducted evaluate the effect incidence on yield nut landraces Maiduguri, northeastern Nigeria. Three (Cream, Red Black) laid out Randomized Co...

the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of amino acid and feeding methods on performance and immune system of broiler chickens. experimental design was based on completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement with 3 feeding methods [control (ad libitum feed intake), intermittent feeding (if) and continuous feed withdrawal (fw)), and 2 amino acid le...

The performed Completely Randomized Block Design replicated three times. Among...

Ethanol emitted by stressed trees is an olfactory cue used ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera; Curculionidae; Scolytinae) to locate susceptible hosts colonize. In addition, ethanol enhances the growth of beetle fungal symbionts, improving colonization. Whether host selection and colonization are affected also amount produced tree species unclear. To investigate these mechanisms, we induced attacks in...

One of the most effective micronutrients on the quantity and quality of medicinal herbs is zinc (Zn). The present study aimed to assess the impact of the foliar application of various Zn sources (0.2% w/v) including Zn chelated by amino acid (ZnAAC), Zn-sulfate and Zn-EDTA on qualitative and quantitative features of Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora L.). In two harvests, the field experiment was...
