There were significant differences (P<0.05) between these parameters, within the months, stations and seasons. A total of 1, 867 benthic fauna were collected and identified into 6 phyla, 27 families and 60 species. All the species identify were represented in all the stations. Faunistic composition and abundance of benthic fauna showed that Family Bithyniidae has the highest percentage composition 60% (1120) followed by Lymnaelidae and Nuculoidae with 4% each. Chironmidae has 3% while others has 2 to 1%. Similarity ratio computed by Jaccard’s similarities index (0.63) shows that the three stations has about 63% species similarities between them. The relationship between climatic variable and fauna in the CCA diagram shows only torant organisms on positive axis i.e. representative of Nematoda, Mollusca, Polifera and Annelida has affinity to variables while Crustacean and Arthropoda were senstive to environmental condition.

Aquatic ecosystems are critical components of the global environment and essential contributors to biodiversity and ecological productivity. The effects of environmental variables on some aquatic biota of Jabi Lake was studied from January, 2022 to December, 2023 using a combination of insitu and laboratory analyses. Seven stations were selected; the tributaries (3 stations), the confluent station and 3 stations within the Lake, to determine the physico-chemical, nutrients and biological characteristics based on the activities in and around the various stations. Physico-Chemical parameters measured were: Atmospheric temperature, Water temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Turbidity, Water Electrical Conductivity (WEC), Water current, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Alkalinity, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Nitrite. Nutrients: Phosphate and Nitrate. Metals: Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), Zinc, Chromium and Cadmium. Some of the parameters were within the regulatory permissible limit while few above the standard. There were significant differences (P<0.05) between these parameters, within the months, stations and seasons. The result of biotic fauna recorded shows composition and abundance of 4 phyla, 9 classes, 25 families and 45 species. Temperature has the most pronounced effect on the distribution and abundance of aquatic fauna, followed by DO in the CCA analysis. The Shannon Weiner species diversity index is 1.14.

Six villages were selected randomly and in each Local Government Area, three villages were visited and three farms planted each with maize/cassava intercrop, cashew plantation and natural forest were sampled. Soil samples were collected from the farmland randomly at the depth of 0–20cm and analysed for physical and chemical properties in the laboratory. Carbon pool index was higher under cashew plantation. The mass of carbon lost recorded was higher under maize/cassava intercrop and cashew plantation recorded the lowest mass of carbon lost. Equivalent Carbon dioxide emitted recorded was lower under cashew plantation and maize/cassava intercrop recorded higher equivalent of carbon dioxide emitted. Natural forest had the highest organic carbon. Simple random sampling of 126 respondents were interviewed. Results revealed majority (71.4%) are willing to invest in residue retention and 92.9% are willing to engage in climate change mitigation practices free of charge. Maize/cassava intercrop recorded the lowest carbon pool due to burning of plant residues and the use of tillage practices. The highest carbon pool index recorded under cashew plantation was due to leaves litter decomposition. Carbon emitted was generally higher under maize/cassava intercrop as a result of continuous and vigorous cultivation leading to loss of carbon. Some farmers are not fully aware of climate change mitigation practices, therefore, more observation should be given to afforestation scheme to mitigate climate change and government and nongovernmental organization (NGOs) should educate and encourage farmers to practice crop residue retention and also minimize bush burning.","PeriodicalId":407722,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research","volume":"226 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140255962","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}

Exposure to heavy metals causes stunted growth of rice plants. A safe and environmentally friendly approach is done through the use of a combination of ameliorants and inorganic fertilizers. NPK Co-Ameliorant fertilizer is an innovation in bio-agent multifunctional fertilizer production technology that is expected to be an alternative solution to the widespread pollution of rice fields by industrial waste. This study aims to examine the effect of NPK Co-Ameliorant fertilizer on vegetative growth of rice plants on industrial waste polluted soil. The research was conducted in a greenhouse with soil media from Jelegong village, Rancaekek which was polluted with heavy metals. The research period was from September 2023 to February 2024. The experimental design used a Randomized Group Design with eight treatments, four replications and two units consisting of: 0 (control); NPK Phonska 225 kg ha-1; and various doses of NPK Bio-Organomineral fertilizer 150; 250; 350; 450; 550; 650 kg ha-1. The results showed that the application of NPK Co-Ameliorant fertilizer effectively increased rice plant height, number of tillers, chlorophyll content and plant biomass weight.

Fingerlings (0.58 ± 0.123g mean weight and 3. 8 ± 0.52cm mean length) were stocked in 18 round plastic tanks, each 45 litres containing 40 litres of water, at 45 fish per tank. Tryptophan was incorporated at 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 % in commercial Catfish feed by spraying each tryptophan - 70% alcohol solution to separate feed samples to form six different experimental feeds. The dried feeds were fed to the fish daily at 4 % body weight for 8 weeks. The experiment used a complete randomized design with 6 feed treatments and 3 replications. Water quality, growth, mortality and feed utilization data noted and at the end, their associated indices were determined and subjected to the analysis of variance for significant differences (P= 0.05). The results revealed that tryptophan supplementation at the levels used in the diets of Heterobranchus longifilis did not have any significant effects on all the parameters examined excepting mean weight gain.
