The research was carried out from April to July, 2016 using a plot size of 6m x 1m (6m) with a 1m furrow between beds and 1.5m between replications. Three hybrids pepper (ChilWASA-Chil-1, Chil-WASA-Chil-2 and Chil-WASA-Chil-3) designated as treatments (T1, T2 and T3) were evaluated. T3 (27.45 cm) and T2 (42.52; 60.10 cm) had the tallest PH at 4, 6 & 8WAT with T1 (20.34 & 34.23 cm) recording the shortest PH at 4 & 6WAT respectively. The largest SG was accounted for by T2 (6.86; 8.72; 9.47 cm) at 4, 6 & 8WAT while T1 & T3 had the same values (4.79 cm) at 4 WAT and T3 & T1 recorded the least at 6 &8 WAT. The widest CS at 4, 6 & 8WAT was observed in T1 (17.11, 32.60 & 56.47 cm) and T3 had the least at 6 & 8WAT (25.63 & 35.76cm ) respectively. Similarly, T1 (54.00, 59.00 & 78.00) recorded the highest NB plant at 4, 6 & 8WAT while T3 (40.00 & 64.00) had the lowest at 4 & 6WAT. For LA and LAI, T1 (9.49 &13.83) and T2 (8.83, 10.09 & 12.47) indicated highest values at 4 & 6WAT; 4, 6 and 8WAT. The lowest values for LA and LAI at 4, 6 & 8WAT were observed in T3 (6.36, 12.00, 13.55; 6.26, 7.06 & 8.98) respectively. For yield and yield components, T2 (66.00, 61.00, 63.87 cm & 51.00) recorded the highest values for NFS, NFH, FL and NMF plant and the least were observed in T1 (53.00 & 49.00) and T3 (54.61cm) correspondingly. Generally, it could be concluded that all three exotic pepper are adaptable to the climatic conditions of Sierra Leone (Western area). Hence further evaluation required across vegetable growing zones.

A field trial was carried out to study the effect of seasonal temperature and relative humidity on the mean number and infestation level of cotton mealybug on Tomato in Gezira State, Sudan . Tomato seedlings were transplanted into the field on 1 January and 1 August, 2016, respectively. Cultural practices were conducted as recommended by the ARC, Sudan. The infestation level and mean numbers of mealybug and were closely observed through weekly counts in both seasons. Temperature and relative humidity during the study period were provided by ARC, Meteorological Station. The results showed that the infestation level (50–90) and the mean number of cotton mealybug (0-15 insect/15cm) were lower on tomato in January where the temperature ranged between 20 oc and 25oc and the (RH) ranged between 30% and 40 %.

The results showed that oil palm plantations are the basic sector in the economy of Batanghari Regency in terms of GDRP at Constant prices and employment (LQ > 1). The shift-share values from the aspects of GDRP at Constant prices, GDRP at Current Prices, and labor absorption indicate that oil palm plantations are a potential economic sector to be developed.

The present investigation was undertaken for the assessment of 13 local ginger genotypes collected from different region of Bangladesh through 7 RAPD primers. Genomic DNA was extracted from ginger genotypes using CTAB method. A total of 34 distinct and differential amplification bands ranging from 150-1200 bp were observed with an average of 1.14 polymorphic bands per primer. The overall gene diversity was detected 0.8052 and the value of PIC was detected 0.7532. The RAPD marker generate enough polymorphism for possible use in diversity studies through cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). PCA classified 13 ginger genotypes into four groups and showed in two dimensional scatter plot. The genetic similarity coefficients among genotypes ranged from 0.103 to 0.654. Cluster analysis based on Jaccard’s similarity-coefficient using UPGMA grouped the genotypes into two clusters: Cluster A and Cluster B. The cluster ‘A’ had only one genotype Kaptai local and the second cluster ‘B’ had rest of twelve genotypes.

Surface soil samples (0-20 cm) were collected for sorption studies and pot experiments. The sorption study was carried out by shaking known concentrations of S (0, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120 mgkg) with 5g soil sample. The suspension was filtered and the amount of S in solution determined. The amount of sulphatesorbed was estimated as the difference between equilibrium sulphate concentration and initial sulphate added. Data from the sorption study was fitted into the Langmuir and Freundlich sorption equations. Thereafter a pot experiment was carried out with six levels of solution sulphate concentration to determine the optimum S concentration for yield of groundnut and the amount of sulphur fertilizer required to achieve this concentration in the soil under study. Result show that both soils have the capacity to sorb sulphur. The sorption maxima, buffering capacity and binding energy of the soils under study are 70.66 mgkg, 15.81mg kg, 0.22 dm mg and 117.84 mgkg, 9.83 mg kg,0.08 dm kg for Aliade and Daudu soils respectively.The highest yield in Aliade soil was obtained with 6 mg kg S while 12 mg kg S gave the highest yield in Daudu soil. Aliadeand Daudu soils would require 57.41 and 23.69 kg haS respectively to maintain 12 mg/kg and 9mg/kg of S in the soil solution. Hence for groundnut production in Aliade soil, 57.41 kg S ha is recommended while for the Daudu soil, 23.69 kg S ha is recommended.

Oil combustion is likely a main source of nickel pollution in street dust, and after oil spills. Remediation and phytomining may be possible by use of special accumulator plants. Fertilizers do not increase nickel levels in soils. In green plants, nickel levels are much higher than in animal tissues and products of animal origin, and in fungi they are highly variable.

Irrigation is characterized as the counterfeit utilization of water to soil for consistently providing the dampness basic for plant development. It achieved in various ways by flooding, wrinkles, spreading, by applying water underneath the land surfaces by sub-irrigation.
