In West Africa, little attention has been given to the rapid propagation of sweet potato with much dependence on use tuber part as seed. This study thus investigated and establishment a different number nodal segments vines in soil soilless system under influence Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF). Cut (double single explants) from growing plants were planted following substrates; Topsoil, Coco...

The present investigation was done on impact of different hardening substrates growth in vitro raised plantlets with objective to standardize media for acclimatization orchid plantlets. research laid out Completely Randomized Design (CRD) combination 16 treatments containing charcoal, brick, cocopeat, bark, rice husk, groundnut shell, chopped coconut husk and paddy straw all replicated thrice a...

the aim of the present work was to investigate the ability of cocopeat to remove of lead (ii) from aqueous solutions. the effects of different parameters such as particle size, adsorbent dosage, ph, contact time, agitation speed and concentration on the removal process has been investigated. the maximum removal of lead ion (92.5%) took place in the ph range of 4 contact time in 30 minutes and i...

Nine different compositions of growing media were evaluated for tomato and capsicum in two consecutive years (2020 2021). Experiments conducted Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) under rain shelter (poly house) with three replications. The Cocopeat, FYM+Cocopit+Perlite, FYM+ Cocopit+Vermiculite, FYM+Perlite, FYM+Soil, FYM+Vermiculite, Vermicompost+Perlite, Vermicompost +Soil Vermicompost+V...

In order to evaluate the effect of medium and spraying calcium nano-fertilizer on quality of cut gerbera flowers, an experiment was conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with 7 media and 3 calcium nano-fertilizer concentrations with 3 replications. The media included cocopeat + perlite (1:1), peat moss + perlite (1:1), mushroom compost + perlite (1:1), peat moss + cocopeat + pe...

to investigate effect of calcium and growth medium on lilium (asiatic hybrid lilium bulbs “tresor” cultivar) and nutrients uptake, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted by three levels of calcium in nutrient solution (2, 4 and 6 mm*) and five growth media (100% perlite, 70% perlite + 30% cocopeat, 50% perlite + 50% cocopeat, 30% perlite + 70% cocopeat, 100% ...

Biochar is the carbonaceous solid product of biomass pyrolysis which can be used as chemical feedstock for various purposes such as energy production, and adsorption of pollutants. In particular, application of biochar to the soil is gaining greater interests, which can reduce fertilizer consumption, increase crop yields, and sequestrate carbon. This study compares the characteristics of biocha...
