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, […]
Haematological and Biochemical Profiles of Exotic and Nigerian Locally Adapted Turkeys Reared in a Tropical Environment
Variations in haematological and biochemical parameters of birds can be used to explain differences in the adaptability and response of different breeds to the local environment. The study aimed at determining the haematological and biochemical variation of Nigerian locally adapted (with different plumage colours) and exotic turkeys reared in tropical environments. A total of 200 […]
Sustainable Development in Green Energies and the Environment
The move towards a de-carbonized world, driven partly by climate science and partly by the business opportunities it offers, will need the promotion of environmentally friendly alternatives if an acceptable stabilization level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is to be achieved. This requires the harnessing and use of natural resources that produce no air pollution or […]
Impact of Conservation Education on Zoo Tourists in Selected Zoos in Nigeria
