Water scarcity, exacerbated by climate change, poses severe challenges to agriculture, food security, and sustainable development, particularly in vulnerable regions. This study examines innovative technologies for improving water productivity and mitigating the impacts of climate change. Key technologies discussed include precision irrigation tech...
The objective of this paper was to evaluate the variety and intra-row spacing on growth and
yield of Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) by Nigerian farmers to improve productivity in Jos Plateau State, Nigeria
during the 2024 rainy season using appropriate techniques. Data obtained show that the values of count, plant
height, leaf area, stem girth at 30...

Growth-stage-based deficit irrigation effects on the yield and water productivity of tomato
Improving water productivity (WP) through deficit irrigation is a major goal for sustainable agriculture under water scarcity conditions as observed in the semi-arid parts of Nigeria. The yield and crop water use responses of drip-irrigated tomato to deficit irrigation in Kaduna, Nigeria was evaluated during the dry seasons of 2017-2019. The treatm...
The objective of this paper was to evaluate levels and human health risk assessment of heavy metals in some vegetables in farmers' field, Jos North, Plateau State Nigeria; using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry. The evaluation of the average daily intake for adults revealed that Ni in lettuce and cabbage exceeded the permissible levels (0.0094...
The presence of heavy metals in environmental matrix poses significant risks to human, animal, and ecosystem integrity. This comprehensive review on heavy metals contamination in biomaterials, soil, and water, was carried out to synthesize, findings from multiple studies to elucidate the extent and implications of environmental pollution. A systema...
The objective of this study was to assess the concentrations of selected heavy metals at Kuru Dam. The result obtained shows that Fe ranged from 0.05-0.55ppm, As 0.13-0.18ppm, Cu 0.06-0.36ppm, Pb 0.08-0.46, Cd 0.01-0.02ppm, while Zn 0.01-0.01ppm. The results were compared with, FAO and NESREA standards. The data revealed that Fe, Zn, Cu and Cd conc...
Water conservation practices are used in crop production for enhancing soil water storage especially when there are fluctuations in rainfall under rain-fed cropping. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of soil moisture conservation techniques on the growth and yield of maize under rain-fed condition. Four treatments were laid out in a...
Measurement of soil moisture has become very critical in irrigation water management studies especially in Africa. This research investigated the response of Tensiometer, Gypsum blocks and Sensor to changes in soil moisture and their appropriateness for irrigation scheduling on farms. Gypsum block was fabricated using a mould containing 15 cubicles...
p>Aim: This study was carried out to assess concentration status of some
heavy metals in water along River Dilimi, Nigeria. The Nigerian inland water
bodies have been subjected to various forms of degradation due to
pollution. River Dilimi in Jos North of Plateau state capital is one of such
endangered inland water bodies. Activities around and in...
This report presents a study of crop water requirement and crop coefficient (Kc) for Tomato crop cultivated under irrigation in Pampaida Millennium Village Cluster, Ikara Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria, during the 2009/2010 dry season. A total of 7 tomato farmers were selected out of 45 farmers for the assessment exercise. Water app...
This study was conducted in Pampaida Millennium Village (PMV), Ikara Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria; during the 2009/2010 dry season to assess Tomato farmer’s irrigation water management practice using furrow irrigation. A total of 7 tomato farmers were selected out of 45 farmers for the assessment exercise. Soil moisture content wa...
One among the major problems confronting the world today is water scarcity; the water resources of many countries of the world are insufficient to meet the present demand for irrigation, municipal industries and other allied uses. The construction of dams and reservoir is considered as the most effective means of solving human problems of water sto...
Smallholder farmers in Nigeria are responsible for 90% of produce yearly, there is no doubt that smallholder farms form the backbone of the Nigerian agricultural sector. Smallholder farms are Nigeria’s current reality, they hold the key to agriculture’s comeback. Agricultural mechanization for the multitude of smallholder farmers in Nigeria has bee...
The field experiments were carried out at the federal college of forestry farm, Jos-Nigeria, to evaluate the hydraulic characteristics of aMedi-emitter drip irrigation system, constructed with locally sourced materials. A set of Medi-emitter drip system covering an area of 46m 2 with lateral length of 2.4m and sub-main length of 2.7m was used in th...
In the past, outcome of any water management strategy could only be known after field experiment, in recent times, means of evaluating the implications of irrigation schedules without field experiment is fast gaining grounds with the use of models. This research work present a scenarios studies for different developed irrigation scheduling options...
The use of gravity fed drip irrigation systems is fast gaining popularity in Northern Nigeria. The drip kit uses gravity instead of a pump to provide the head (energy) for its operation. The water source (a tank or bucket) is usually place some meters above the ground to provide the pressure head. In the study reported herein, a field experiments w...
This research was carried out in Federal College of Forestry Jos, during the 2015/2016
cropping season, to determine the Effect of radial spacing on growth and yield of Maize (Zea
mays L.) under Olla irrigation. The experiment consisted of four (4) treatment each replicated
three (3) times in randomized complete block design (RCBD) .The parameters...
Farmers in the northern Guinea Savannah ecological zone of Nigeria have been experiencing declining crop yield due to erratic water supply. In recent times, research on better water management and interaction between effects of climate, soil and field management on crop production is fast gaining grounds with the use of models. Models can be used t...
Amidst positive effects of irrigation, there are some negative effects which potentially appear in irrigation areas. The most important are water erosion on sloping fields; caused by depreciating irrigation structures, resulting in siltation of water canals, growth of weeds, debris and other materials that has capacity to inhibit flow of water. Thi...
