The nutrient and anti nutrient composition of some standardized sweet potato dishes in Kwara state was determined using official methods of analysis. The indigenous sweet potato dishes analysed included pounded sweet potato/yam; sweet potato leaf soup; boiled sweet potato; fried sweet potatoes and sweet potato/ beans pottage. There were significant differences (p < 0.05) for moisture content wh...

Mild steel coupons (MSCs) buried for thirty months in soils inoculated with bacterial isolate Bacillus cereus-SNB4 resulted in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) based average percent weight loss (APWL) and corrosion rate (CR) as 8.21% and 3.55mgdm d , respectively with 18.86% moisture and 2 1 0.218% organic contents. For nutrient added soils the corresponding figures were -8.95 and -...

The multi-level ditch system developed in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China has sped up water drainage process hence transferred more pollutants from farmlands into the rivers of this region. Understanding the seasonal dynamics of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) transportation in the ditch system and the role of different ditch size is thus crucial for water pollution control of the rivers in...

Organic resources play a critical role in both short-term nutrient availability and longer-term maintenance of soil organic matter in most smaller holder farming systems in the tropics. Despite this importance, there is little predictive understanding for the management of organic inputs in tropical agroecosystems. In this paper, an organic resource database (ORD) is introduced that contains in...

The nutrient contents of a widely-consumed leafy vegetable produce – Telfairia occidentalis using poultry manure (PM) and mineral fertilizer (Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium-NPK) application were evaluated for comparison. PM at four levels (0, 5, 10 and 15 tonnes) and a standard rate of 90kg NPK per hectare was applied. Leaves were harvested for immediate analyses at 15 weeks after planting ...

A field experiment was carried out in the Light village of Netrokona Sadar during the period from December 2010 to March 2011 to study the performance of some wheat varieties in terms of nutrient contents and their uptake. The experiment comprised of five varieties of wheat viz. BARI Gam 25, Shatabdi, BARI Gam 26, Prodip and Bijoy. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block desi...
