Assesment of Variability in Yield and Proximate Composition of Nine Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) Genotypes in Awka, South-Eastern Nigeria
Mungbean has tremendous genetic diversity worldwide. This genetic variation can be used for the genetic improvement of the crop towards developing high-yielding varieties. Therefore, the research aimed at assessing the growth, yield and proximate composition of nine mungbean genotypes (Umudike V1a, Umudike V2a, TVR 194, TVR 294, Iran mungbean, Umudike V1b, TVR 20, Umudike V2b, […]

Agronomic Performance and Yield of Celeosia argentea and Amaranthus caudatus Treated With Organic Manure And Mineral Fertilizer
Most Nigerian soils have low nitrogen status usually supplemented with nutrient sources, like chemical fertilizers. However, the problem with the usage of chemical fertilizer is that though enhances high crop yield, it can result in groundwater pollution, which is hazardous to human health. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of organic manure, […]
