ASSESSMENT OF Dennentia tripetala Baker. F. SEEDLING GROWTH PERFORMANCE TO DIFFERENT WATERING FREQUENCIES
Abstract Water is an important factor in plant development. As important as water is, its excess can be dangerous and injurious to seedling; therefore the water requirement of seedlings at nursery level must be determined for effective performance of the plants. This study assessed the water requirement of Dennentia tripetala at nursery level. Sixty seedlings […]
EFFECT OF MIXTURE OF CADMIUM AND ZINC ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF Vernonia amygdalina Del
Abstract Vernonia amygdalina Del was grown in soil treated with a mixture of cadmium and zinc in different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg) to investigate the effect of the treatments on the growth of V. amygdalina. Identical stem cuttings were collected and sown in buckets filled with 5 kg dry soil. These were […]
AESTHETIC EFFECTS AND ENERGY GENERATION POTENTIALS OF ROOF MOUNTED PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) PANELS ON A HOSTEL BUILDING: A CORRELATION STUDY
Abstract The placement of photovoltaic panels on roof may affect the aesthetic quality of the building. The study sought to establish any correlation between energy generation potentials of PV panels on roof and aesthetic quality of a building. The experimental research design is a study by simulation of a hostel building elevation in Modibbo Adama […]
MANAGING ENVIRONMENT FROM BELOW: THE MATERIALITY OF COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION FOR ECOLOGICAL SUSTAINABILITY IN ZIMBABWE
Abstract There are growing global concerns about climate change and that resulted in environmental management becoming a global policy priority.

The […]
SEEDLING GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF Khaya senegalensis (Welw.) C.DC UNDER DIFFERENT LIGHT INTENSITIES AND SOIL TEXTURAL CLASSES
Abstract Plant growth and development is influenced by environmental conditions such as light intensity, which refers to the total amount of light that plants receive and degree of brightness that plant is exposed for photosynthesis process and also soil texture control mineralization by influencing aeration moisture status. This study investigates seedling growth performance of Khaya […]
GREENHOUSE EVALUATION OF Mansonia altissima ACHEV. SEEDLINGS AS AFFECTED BY MYCORRHIZA, FERTILIZER AND WATERING REGIME
Abstract A greenhouse investigation was conducted to determine the effect of arbuscular mycorrhiza, N. P. K fertilizer and moisture supply on Mansonia altissima seedlings. The experiment was 3x3x3 factorial experiment in completely randomized design with each of factor has 3 levels and was replicated 5 times. Application of arbscular mycorriza does not have significant effect […]
