Two field experiments, organized in randomized complete block design, were conducted in 2005 and 2006 farming seasons at Nyankpala in the Northern Region of Ghana to investigate the effects of planting depth (1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 cm) and land preparation methods (flat field, mounding and ridging) on crop establishment (percentage number of established plants) and grain yield of soybean (Glycine max...

in vitro propagated and conventional runner propagated plantlets of strawberry (fragaria×ananassa duch) cv. ‘festival’ were transferred to the field and the size of crown for plants derived from both sources of planting material were compared. four sizes of the crown, i.e., < 0.5, 0.5-0.8, 0.8-1, and > 1 cm were taken from both sources of planting material. the results obtained flashed that veg...

The capacity of urban areas to deliver provisioning ecosystem services is commonly overlooked and underutilized. Urban populations have globally increased fivefold since 1950, and they disproportionately consume ecosystem services and contribute to carbon emissions, highlighting the need to increase urban sustainability and reduce environmental impacts of urban dwellers. Here, we investigated t...
