ABSTRACT The study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional composition through analysis of wild and hormone treated Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The fifteen samples of each wild and sex reversed were measured. The mean weight of wild species samples were (225.9 ± 19.9 g), while sex reversed samples were (169.9±46.3 g) with, significant difference (𝑝 < 0.05). The result of chemical composition presented was as mean percentage to moisture, Fat, Crude protein and Ash all which c...

ABSTRACT Drought is a period of dryness especially when prolonged or when there is occurrence of persistent abnormal moisture deficiency, although drought is natural but it can be induced artificially under a controlled envirornnent. This study aimed at studying the effect of sodium selenite by studying their biochemical components and plant height. The seeds were collected at IIT A (INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TROPICAL AG RI CULTURE), Ibadan, Nigeria. Soil was collected and dried for 4 days,...
Abstract This study was carried out in the laboratory of Entomology, Plant Protection Department , College of Agricultural Studies , Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST) to evaluate the lethal effect of hexane extracts of the leaves of Rehan (Ocimum basilicum) and Lupine seeds (Lupinus termis) against the 3rd larval instars of spiny bollworm (Earias insulana Boisduval, 1833). Also further experiments were conducted to investigate the efficacy of sesame oil as a synergist. Four co...
Abstract Two field experiments were conducted for two consecutive rainy seasons of 2011/12 and 2012/13 at Umhojar Village, Kabkabiya Locality- North Darfur State, Sudan to study the effect of different rainwater harvesting techniques on growth and yield of pearl millet intercropped with cowpea. The area lies on sandy clay loam soil at Latitude 13o. 04" N and Longitude 24o.08" E,).

ABSTRACT Irrigated agriculture for Rhodes Grass and fodder production forms the backbone of many farmers in Al-Batinah and Salalah Plain of Sultanate of Oman. Ecological deterioration and inefficient water resource use have resulted in a significant threat to the livelihoods of those most dependent on agricultural sector. Inefficient water use has led to rising ground water tables and widespread water and soil salinization has resulted. The high water demand in the region for crop production...
Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of polluted groundwater , soil, fodder with heavy metals and trace elements such as (Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb) and Manganese(Mn) in safety of cattle, sheep, goat and camel meat raised at Tambol area. Samples of groundwater, soil, fodder, animals meat tissues, vital organs ( liver, kidney and heart ) and blood serum were randomly collected to detect heavy metals traces by using flame atomic absorption ...
