Groundnuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), is a crucial food and oil crop in the tropics, require genetic variability assessment for efficient breeding programs using appropriate parameters like genetic coefficient of variation, heritability estimates, association among yield related traits and genetic advance. This study aims to identify genotypes with des...

Salinity is an ever increasing problem that reduces rice yield in rice producing areas. The rice plant is salt sensitive and its productivity is severely affected by the accumulation of soluble salts in soils. The arid and semi-arid zone of Nigeria where irrigation practices are widely adapted faces the most serious ecological and environmental pro...

Humanity has long been creating traditional treatments based on the knowledge of medicinal plants found worldwide. The medicinal potential of Acalypha wilkesiana in treating skin and gastrointestinal problems is highly appreciated. This study aimed to examine the Acalypha wilkesiana leaf extract's antibacterial effectiveness against a variety of hu...

The aim of this research was to determine the effect of abattoir wastewater on the growth and yield of tomato plants. The Physicochemical properties of the wastewater such as colour, odour, PH, Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), temperature, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and heavy metals were determined using standard analytical p...

ABSTRACT An Allium cepa root cells assay was used to assess cytotoxic and genotoxic impacts onPharmaceutical industrial effluent in Kano Metropolis. An industrial effluent'sphysicochemical characteristics and heavy metal composition were assessed, and the readingswere found to be higher than the required levels, demonstrating that it had not been t...
