The study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the Practical Year Training Programme (PYTP) farmlands, University of Ibadan, South Western Nigeria. Soil arthropods were collected from September, 2010 to February, 2011 in five sampling sites of PYTP farmlands using Berlese Tullgren Extracti...

in general, estuaries may be classified variously according to inlet dynamics, geomorphology orwhether they are tide or river dominated or, on a combination of all three factors. in kwazulu-natal (kzn),south africa, the four recognised estuary types are temporary opened-closed estuaries (toces), permanently opened estuaries, estuarine lakes and river mouths. since physico-chemical parameters ar...

background and objectives: the food product known as the ‘hamburger’ plays a crucial role in people’s nutrition and the diversity of the food they consume. the reasons for our study include the area under cultivation, the remarkable amount of protein in chickpeas and lentils, as well as the public interest in tending to meat products, especially hamburgers. materials and methods: in this study,...

The effect of paper mill effluent on the physico-chemical properties of soils was studied under natural environment in pots experiment. The soil was treated to six rates of effluent viz. 5, 10 25, 50, 75 and 100 ml/Kg soil. The physico-chemical properties of the soil were determined before and at the end of the experiment, 12 weeks after irrigation with the effluent. Results revealed that among...

In many crop producing areas of the world there are reports of yield decline and loss of productive potential in soils. Little is known about the long term effects of sugarcane monocropping on changes in physical, chemical and biological properties of soils. The aim of this study was to quantify the physical and chemical condition of soils under sugarcane production in northern Kwazulu-Natal, a...
