Zooplankton (Brachionus calyciflorus) was screened from Awuma River at Shabu before the onset of rainy season and isolated into mono specific culture in the laboratory. Cow dung, chicken dropping, groundnut cake, soybean cake, rice bran and single super phosphate were combined in different proportions of three, four and five combination of manure in solution (3CM1...4, 4CM1...4 and 5CM1...4.) i...

Groundnut, a nutrient-rich food legume, is cultivated world over. It is valued for its good quality cooking oil, energy and protein rich food, and nutrient-rich fodder. Globally, groundnut improvement programs have developed varieties to meet the preferences of farmers, traders, processors, and consumers. Enhanced yield, tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses and quality parameters have been ...

Safou (Dacryodes edulis) is consumed by the Ivorian population for its therapeutic virtues. The present study aims to make known phytochemical composition and antihypercholesterolemic activity of safou cake. For this, screening aqueous extract pulp cake was carried out. In addition, tested in rats (Rattus norvegicus). Results obtained indicate that contains secondary metabolites such as polyphe...

Bambara groundnut is an indigenous African vegetable grown mainly for human food and animal feed due to its high protein content. Different factors like varieties and origin can influence the chemical composition of Bambara groundnut cultivars. Therefore, the aims of this study are to produce defatted flour and protein concentrate from newly developed Bambara groundnut cultivars [Accessions No:...

ABSTRACT Analysis by triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of groundnut samples from fields in two seasons from different regions of Malawi showed the absence of groundnut rosette assistor virus (GRAV) from some plants showing groundnut rosette disease symptoms and the presence of GRAV in some symptomless plants. Viruliferous Aphis craccivora collected from fields transmitt...

Both in a choice and multi-choice laboratory tests, fewer adults of the banana root borer, Cosmopolites sordidus (Germar), settled under the corms of the susceptible banana "Nakyetengu" treated with 5% aqueous extract of neem seed powder or cake or 2.5 and 5% emulsified neem oil than on water-treated corms. Feeding damage by larvae on banana pseudostem discs treated with 5% extract of powdered ...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) press-cake is a residue of oil processing from which the phenolic compounds were extracted using ethanol 60 % by batch and semi-continuous operations, or ultrasound-assisted maceration in case de-oiled cake, with particular attention to variables time solid-solvent ratio. For extraction, conditions maximizing total yield (TPC) radical scavenging activity evaluated 2,2-...
