Purpose Increase in global population and food demands have necessitated the need to enhance the health status of agricultural soils to overcome retrogresses in crop yields. Thus, amply use of animal manures is critical to improving low fertility status that characterised most agricultural soils in the tropics. Method This study investigated the effects of various […]
Purpose: Degraded soils are associated with low organic matter and nutrient contents, which limit their productive capacity to produce sufficient food. Improving the productivity of degraded soils is key to achieving sustainable food production and tackling global food crises. Method: A study was carried out between September 2021 to March 2022 in a greenhouse at the University […]
Purpose Waste disposal poses serious environmental challenges to mankind. This precipitated the quest for an eco-friendly waste management approach to minimize the challenges wastes pose to the ecosystem and proffer alternative use for these wastes. Method A field study was carried out at the University of Nigeria Nsukka Teaching and Research Farm to investigate the […]
Purpose Rice-mill wastes are generated in large amounts in Ishiagu, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. These wastes can potentially be utilized for rice production and in improving soil attributes. This study evaluated the effects of rice-mill wastes on soil chemical properties and rice yield in sawah rice management. Method A sawah rice field in an inland valley […]
