This study was carried out to characterize the isolates of P. colocasiae from Makurdi, Nigeria and Befang, Cameroon; and evaluate the potential of aqueous leaf extracts of Eucalyptus, neem and mahogany at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations for management of the pathogen. A synthetic fungicide (Mancozeb) was included as a check. The isolate from Befang had more radial growth than that from Makurdi. The colonies of both isolates were translucent and low on corn meal agar (CMA) but opaque and high on acetate differential agar enriched with dextrose (ADAD). The texture of the Befang isolate was filamentous on CMA but hard and grainy on ADAD; the Makurdi isolate was filamentous on both media. Mancozeb and all the plant extracts inhibited the growth of the pathogen significantly (P≤0.05). Among the extracts, Eucalyptus at 100% concentration was the most potent (94.4-100.0% inhibition) and it was comparable to Mancozeb (100% inhibition); mahogany at 50% was the least potent (<20%). Both concentrations of neem gave similar levels of growth inhibition (mean=50.0–64.6%) throughout. Other inhibitory levels were 32.0–57.3% for Eucalyptus at 50% and 24.0–53.9% for mahogany at 100%. These results indicated that ADAD and CMA were appropriate culture media for the fungus. The extracts of Eucalyptus, neem and mahogany had fungicidal activity against P. colocasiae; therefore they should be incorporated into management programmes for the pathogen.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"20 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135679193","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}

Allium cepa root tips were grown in various concentrations of Calcium Carbide (CaC2) (0.25g, 0.50g, 0.75g, and 1.00g)/ 250ml, with distilled water serving as a control. For cytological tests, the root tips of Allium cepa growing in the treatments and control were removed daily between 7:30am and 8:30am. Pretreatment, fixation, hydrolysis, squashing, and staining of cells for mitotic investigations were performed, and data on cytological parameters were collected using a light microscope at a magnification of X40. The mitotic index (MI) and karyotype analysis were used to assess the data collected on these parameters. The results of this study showed that root tips treated with 0.25g of Calcium Carbide (CaC2) have a mitotic index of 45.83 and the rate of cell division decreases with an increase in the concentration of Calcium Carbide (CaC2) as the cell divides the mitotic index dropped sharply. These finding indicated that Calcium Carbide is a strong mitotic inhibitor and could give rise to mitotic abnormalities with increase in concentration and also reduced cell division. We therefore recommended that there is need for further investigation using lower concentrations of Calcium Carbide as well as other mutagenic substances in order to ascertain their effect on the chromosomal behavior.","PeriodicalId":357523,"journal":{"name":"FUDMA Journal of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology","volume":"18 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135679206","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 study was conducted among 400 farmers from twenty (20) villages in Etsako West Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. Most frequently used pesticides were within the WHO class II pesticides (moderately toxic), which are considered as moderately hazardous. A few cases of highly toxic (DDVP 1000G/L EC) were reported. There was no report of DDT and Endosulfan which have been banned globally or have restricted use under the Stockholm Convention. Major drivers of pesticides purchase was affordability (50.8%). Irrespective of age, majority of the sampled farmers do not read pesticides labels before use, while farmers with no formal education (67.1%), reported they don’t read pesticides labels. More, so farmers with less than 5years farming experience (76.3%) also do not read labels before use. Reliance on the success stories of co-farmers and lack of clarity of information on pesticides labels were major reasons for not reading pesticides labels.

This study focused on tree species diversity and distribution in three communities’ farmlands at Dutsin-Ma and Safana local government areas, to assess, identify, enumerate, estimate the richness, and their evenness, and categorise tree species distribution in the study area. A stratified sampling technique was adapted for the study. Two (2) transect lines of 210m length were laid on which sampling plots were established in each of the three study areas. Species richness and diversity were found to be low in all three communities. Azadirachta indica has the highest species richness and diversity in all three communities followed by Adansonia digitata and then Piliostigma thoningii. However, the distribution of trees is not uniform across the study area and varies significantly in their density, diversity, and richness. Tree species at Safana have the highest richness index with a value of 5.383, Turare, with an index value of 5.263 while the least was at Darawa with a value of 3.782. The tree population of the selected study area is presently dominated by the Families of Meliaceae Myrtaceae, Malvaceae, Arecaceae, Moraceae, Pinaceae, Fabaceae, Anacardiaceae, and Combretaceae. The existing flora is dominated by savanna species, particularly those associated with guinea savanna vegetation.

Wild plants with edible portions are those that naturally grow on farms or other untamed terrain, and are essentially rich in supplementing nutritional requirements such as vitamins and minerals. Gingerbread plum (Neocarya macrophylla) is a fruit bearing plant and is among the popular wild fruit in Nigeria. Many sections of the tree including the leaves, peels, fruits, stem bark and seeds are utilized either as a antimicrobial agent, supplement, traditional medicine and many more. The portion of the tree is enclosed with varied proportion of important components most commonly used as therapeutic to curb diseases caused by some microorganisms, The leaves extract showed different levels of antimicrobial effect against the microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomanus aeruginosa  in many studies. Moreover, for the nutritional and antinutritional composition of the gingerbread plum fruits peels, research shows a better result of proximate composition that is believed to not interfere with health and wellbeing. Similarly, fruit pulp are popularly used as food which provides a vital macro and micro nutrients such as Minerals like iron, zinc, etc.; dietary fiber; anti-oxidants; amino acids; bioactive compounds; and phytochemicals which are significant for disease prevention, good nutrition, and deliver health benefits and great taste. Furthermore, seeds from the gingerbread plum contain high proportion of oil commonly entitled with physicochemical and antioxidants characteristics, also stem bark of the tree was used to heal pain with antimicrobial activity.
