ABSTRACTS Cassava is vulnerable to a broad range of diseases caused by viruses. Among them, cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is the most severe and widespread, limiting production of the crop in subSaharan Africa.CMD-affected cassava plants produce few or no tubers depending on the severity of the disease and the age of the plant at the time of infection. CMD is one of the major constraints for cassava production in Nigeria. This study was therefore undertaken to determine the extent of CMD infe...
Abstract The experiment was conducted to investigate effect of Pimpinellaanisum powder addition to broilers chick diets on the performance, serum chemistry and commercial cuts. Four experimental diets were designed A, B, C and D. A served as a control B, C, D was supplemented with Anise seed. At rate 0.2%, 0.4% and 0.6% respectively. Eighty four broiler chicks 7 days old were randomly distributed in to four treatments, each treatment with three replicates and each replicates with 7 chic...
Abstract This study aims to investigate the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Fuga cattle in North Kordufan. A set of detailed structured questionnaires were used to collect information from Fuga cattle owners (150) .The questionnaires were pre-tested to check clarity and appropriateness of the questions. Some of the informations collected during interviews were supported by observations on milk yield per day, milk yield per lactations ,lactation length , age at first calving...
ABSTRACT This investigation is to determine the physiological basis of water deficit stress in pearl millet, (Pennisetum glaucum) and maize (Zea mays). Crops were grouped into two categories, each representing a treatment and replicated 3 times. Category (1) which serve as the control received 100ml of water every 2 days t)1roughout the experimental period. Category (2) received 100ml of water every 2 days for 6 weeks before subjecting them to simulated drought. Physiological parameters eval...
Abstract Pots experiment was conducted, during the summer season 2018, at the College of Agricultural Studies (CAS), Shambat, Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST), Bahri Locality, Khartoum State. The experiment was carried out to determine the effects of the Hargel (Solenostemma argel), Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) aqueous extracts, each applied alone or in their combinations with Nitrogen 40 Ib/fed and the effect of Nitrogen applied alone on S. hermonthica incidence and growth an...
Abstract The study was carried out in Um Gargur plantation forest, in ELfashaga Locality,Gedaref State.The refugees perform different activities such as farming, grazing, fire wood collection and building materials. These activities led to substantial natural resources deterioration. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of refugees on Um Gargur plantation forest during the period from 2004 to 2017. To achieve this objective, the tenth percent (10 %) method was applied to determ...

Abstract The indigenous chickens are known of low productivity and adaptability to their local environment which made them to be resistant to some extend to some diseases prevalent in their localities more than exotic breeds. In this study two experiments were conducted. The trial was concerning phenotypic trial of indigenous Bare neck chicken. The second experiment was handling three genesin order to show polymorphism in the three genes GH, PIT1 and PRLR. In the first trial phonetic p...
ABSTRACT This study was conducted to ascertain drought tolerance in sorghum genotypes. Seedlings of locally cultivated sorghum were screened for drought tolerance by assessing percentage relative water content (R WC) after progressive water deficit. Plant biomass, root/shoot ratio, tolerance index, relative water content (RWC) were measured during harvest. Malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), chlorophyll and praline content were quantified....
Abstract This study was carried out to determine the reference values of Kenana breed and cross breed (Friesian x Kenana) under the Sudan climate, and also to evaluate the effect of seasonal changes and local climatic conditions on the Kenana blood and cross breed and their milk production. The experiment conducted in two research centers farms, namely the Animal Production Research Center (Kuku in Khartoum), representing the (Friesian x kenana) hybrid, and Animal Production Research Center ...
In order to help local farmers improve on their rice production technique amongst other objectives, Adarice project adopted the participating farmers' scheme.
