DISCUSSION ON THE CROP WATER REQUIREMENT, PERIOD OF PLANTING, DAYS TO HARVEST (DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE) AND AREAS PLANTED OF THE FOLLOWING VEGETABLE (FRUIT) CROPS: TOMATO, ONION, OKRA, PEPPER
One of the most critical inputs to vegetable (fruits) production in semi-arid areas, dry season farming and nursery establishment is water. During the dry season or off season, the source of water for vegetable growing is from irrigation while in the wet season, rainfall is the source of water. Young vegetable seedlings in the nursery or in the field should be watered in the early morning or in the evening. Watering should be done before transplanting particularly in the evening. Over-wa...
STUDY OF HYDRAULIC JUMP IN A RECTANGULAR FLUME BY COMPARING RECTANGULAR BLOCK WIER AND SLUICE GATE
This experiment was conducted in order to have a broader knowledge on hydraulic jump and its applications. It was performed in the hydraulic laboratory of the department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, using the TQH23, 2.52m flow rectangular channel and the HID hydraulic bench which provides water to the channel with the aid of the pump incorporated in the HID. Five different discharges were obtained by varying the flow. Hydraulic jump...
