However, spent automobile engine oil is always  disposed indiscriminately on lands and water bodies in Nigeria, which pollutes both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, with adverse  effects on crop growth and productivity. This study investigated the effects of spent engine oil (SEO) polluted soils on growth parameters  and mitotic chromosomes of soybean. Two soybean varieties (TGX-1448-2E and local) were planted in pots filled with sandy-loam soil treated with 0, 0.1, 0.4 and 0.7% v/w SEO concentrations, in 2 × 4 factorial experiment laid in a completely randomized design with six  replications. Data were collected at weekly intervals for four weeks on growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves, leaf width and  leaf length) and chromosomal aberration. Data were subjected to ANOVA and means separated with LSD. Among the treatments, seed  germination rate was significantly higher in TGX-1448-2E (95.0 ± 0.0-96.0 ± 0.7%) than local variety (70.0 ± 0.7-71.0 ± 0.7%). Both 0.4 and  0.7% SEO caused significant (p ≤ 0.01) reductions in plant height, number of leaves, leaf length and leaf width whereas, 0.1% did not  reduce growth parameters. Treatments 0.4 and 0.7% SEO caused high chromosomal aberrations in soybean as they reduced  chromosome numbers (from 40.0 to 23%), cell division, mitotic index (70.0 to 20.8%) and produced 31.7% abnormal cells. Abnormalities  such as bridges, laggards and chromosome stickiness occurred. This study shows that 0.4-0.7% SEO polluted soils is phytotoxic to  soybeans.","PeriodicalId":15011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agro-environmental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79257450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The parameters observed were projected  area, straight length, curve length, straight width, curve width, volume circle, and projected perimeter. Data collected were subjected to  analysis of variance, principal component analysis and product moment correlation coefficients between the parameters were obtained.  The result revealed that the pigeon pea accessions were highly variable in all the seed metric traits evaluated. Accessions NSWCC-34 and  NSWCC-32 showed superiority values in most of the seed metric traits evaluated. Accessions NSWCC-32 had 28.35 mm2 , 6.99 mm, 7.37  mm, 5.23 mm and 5.28 mm in seed projected area, seed straight length, curve length, straight width and curve width, respectively while NSWCC-34 recorded 28.34 mm2 , 6.75 mm, 7.10 mm, 5.22 mm and 5.27 mm for the same evaluated traits. Most of the seed traits showed  significant positive and strong association. The study, therefore, recommends that accessions NSWCC-34 and NSWCC-32 as well as those  traits with high contribution to the major variation (seed projected area, seed straight length, curve length, straight width, curve width  and volume circle) could be included in the seed improvement programme for improved seed quality in pigeon pea. ","PeriodicalId":15011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agro-environmental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84488087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific objectives of the study were to; identify the cultural  practices of selected neglected crops; identify the postharvest handling procedure of the selected neglected crops; identify uses of other  parts of the neglected crops apart from the food storage organs and investigates the medicinal value of selected neglected crops. A  purposive and snow-ball sampling procedure was used to sample 120 farmers of selected neglected crops in South-east and South-south  Nigeria (Akwa-Ibom, Ebonyi and Rivers). A well-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from the respondents and  presented using percentage and mean. The result showed that the cultural and agronomic practices for the neglected crops included;  nursery (66.7%), intercropping (79.2%), fertilizer application (66.7%) and weeding (100%). The farmers use the neglected crops as soup,  chips, flour, and food by boiling or roasting. Processing activities done before storage include fermentation, breaking of the pod, sun  drying and cleaning of the crops without water. The method of storage showed that 25% used nylon, 65% used bags and 10% used air  tight container. The farmers made use of; leaves of neglected food crops for animal feeds formulation, fermented fruits for organic  manure, and stems and branches for timber woods for building and construction. Also, farmers used some of the neglected tree crops  for treating fever, stomach upset and diabetes. Also, it is used to boost blood level, antibiotics, pile treatment and prevention of heart  failure.

A two-factor factorial experiment involving three levels each of ash and poultry manure  (PM) was conducted to determine the effects of ash and PM on soil reaction and performance of maize in an acid soil. The ash comprised  of mixture of ash from wood, cocoa husk and palm bunch. The levels of ash (0.00, 3.00, 6.00 t ha–1 ) and PM (0.00, 4.00, 8.00 t ha–1 ) were  combined to obtain nine treatment combinations (control, 3.00 ash and 0.00 PM, 3.00 ash and 4.00 PM, 3.00 ash and 8.00 PM, 0.00 ash and  4.00 PM, 3.00 ash and 0.00 PM) which were replicated thrice. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design.  Soil samples were collected at 3, 6, 9 and 12 weeks after planting (WAP), plant height measured at 3, 5, 7, and 9 WAP while cob oven-dry  weight was measured after oven-drying harvested cobs at maturity. Analysis of variance was conducted on the data collected using  GenStat version 14. The highest plant height of 132.50 cm at 12 WAP and the highest oven-dry cob weight of 7.15 t ha–1 were obtained  from plots treated with 6.00 and 8.00 t ha-1 of ash and PM, respectively, and these were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) different from the other  treatments. The lowest exchangeable acidity of 1.33 cmol kg–1 which varied significantly (p ≤ 0.05) from the other values observed at the  other plots was obtained at the plot treated with the combination of 6.00 and 4.00 t ha–1 of ash and PM, respectively at 12 WAP. The  combination of ash and PM at 3.00 and 8.00 t ha–1 gave the highest pH of 6.80, and this was significantly (p ≤ 0.05) different from the other treatments. Therefore, ash and PM at varying levels of combination can simultaneously ameliorate soil acidity and improve maize  performance; however, the best combination of ash and PM application which showed the potential to produce optimum effect in  simultaneously ameliorating soil acidity and increasing maize performance was the combination of 6.00 tonnes of ash and 8.00 tonnes of  PM. ","PeriodicalId":15011,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agro-environmental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89636678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
