 Evaluation of heat treatment and bio-priming of cowpea seeds for the management of fusarium wilt disease in the screen house
Research Article

Ayodele M. Ajayi and Bosede J. Evbenata


 

Fusarium wilt is one of the most devastating diseases of cowpea. The pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tracheiphilum is soil and seed-borne. A non-chemical approach was designed for the management of the disease in the present study. Hot water (physical) at three temperatures, 40 50 and 60°C, and Trichoderma viride (biological) at 106 spores/ml were evaluated singly and.... Read more

The application of biochar to the adoption of alternate wetting and drying (AWD) system is crucial to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, soil nutrient retention, and maximize crop productivities in rice cultivation. In this study, the lysimeter experiment was carried out to determine the ability of biochar and its co-application with manure or fertilizer on nitrogen (N) leaching, GHG.... Read more
