Low use of chemical inputs has been cited as a major factor limiting productivity growth of agriculture in most of sub-Saharan Africa. A wide range of variables in ̄uence adoption of such input. It is important to understand the role of these factors to ensure the development and implementation of more e€ective programs to promote agricultural input use. This study examines the e€ect of socio-ec...

The general objective of this study was to trace the intensi®cation process on sandy soils in the Birni N'Konni area of south central Niger and to identify the role of traditional and modern inputs. The primary hypothesis is that farmers intensify ®rst using traditional inputs, such as traditional varieties, labor and manure, and turn to modern inputs, like inorganic fertilizer, improved variet...

this experiment was laid out in order to evaluate the effects  of different biofertilizers on yield components of barley. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were three nitrogen biofrtilizers (nitroksin, nitrokara and supernitroplass) and three phosphate  biofrtilizers (phosphate barvar2, biozarr and superplass) with control for them and yield components we...

this experiment was lay out in order to evaluate the effects of different biofertilizers on seed yield, protein and oil of rapeseed in iran. the experiment was a factorial design with three replications. treatments were four nitrogen biofrtilizers (control (n1), nitroksin (n2), azotobacter (n3) and supernitroplat (n4)) and three phosphate biofrtilizers ( control(p1), biosfer phosphate (p2) and ...

Water bodies often receive agrochemicals and animal waste carrying fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) and zoonotic pathogens, but we know little about the effects of agrochemicals on these microbes. We assessed the direct effects of the pesticides atrazine, malathion, and chlorothalonil and inorganic fertilizer on Escherichia coli and enterococcal survival in simplified microcosms held in the dark....

Bentgrass species are widely utilized on golf course fairways in cool climatic regions. Among the 200 species of bentgrass that exist, creeping (A. stolonifera), colonial (A. capillaris), and velvet (A. canina) bentgrasses have received the greatest breeding improvements and are the most widely utilized Agrostis species for turf.
