Effect of planting date on severity of frogeye leaf spot and grain yield of soybeans by Akem, C., Dashiell, Kenton E.

“…There was no significant difference in disease among all treatments on the resistant cultivar, TGx 996-26E. Under Nigerian conditions, an increase in frogeye leaf spot severity can be expected with delayed planting of soybean after 1 June, and this can result in a corresponding loss of crop yield.…”

Does vitamin A rich orange-fleshed sweetpotato adoption improve household level diet diversity? Evidence from Ghana and Nigeria by Adekambi, S., Okello, J.J., Low, Jan W., Abidin, P.E., Carey, E.E.

“…However, the positive effects of OFSP adoption on household dietary diversity only occurred in the Ghanaian sub-sample, not the Nigerian. Policymakers and development support partners should ensure institutional support in terms of intensive campaigns to sensitize farmers and their families about the benefits of these crops in order to create and sustain demand for biofortified foods as a means of fighting micronutrient malnutrition.…”

Distribution of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus section Flavi in commercial poultry feed in Nigeria by Ezekiel, C.N., Atehnkeng, J., Odebode, A.C., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit

“…The population ofA. flavus in the feed had positive (r= 0.50) but non significant (p N 0.05) correlations with proportion of toxigenicisolates obtained fromthe feedwhile SBG had significant (p b 0.001) positive (r= 0.99)influence on AFB1 concentrationsin the feed. Poultry feed in Nigerian markets are therefore highly contaminated with aflatoxigenicAspergillus species and consequently, aflatoxins. …”
