Vegetative propagation of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) by grafting: Aptitude of
grafting on four clones
- Abstract: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of hormones and fertilizers on the aptitude of grafting of four types of clones used in the seed fields for the creation, the regeneration, and the production of pods. The experimental design is a factorial trial (4 3 2 2) with hormone as the main block and other factors completely randomized within the blocks with three replicates. Th...

Assessment of forest cover changes in and around Jorgo Wato Forest, West
Wollega, Oromia, Western Ethiopia
- Abstract: Detecting and identifying the changes in land cover provides the updated information about forest cover changes. Identifying forest cover change is also necessary information for planning and management of sustainable use of natural resources. This study was conducted to detect the dynamics of forest cover change in and around Jorgo Wato forest, West Wollega zone of Oromia National Regional ...

Natural regeneration pattern of the wild custard-apple, Annona
senegalensis Pers. in the semi-arid area of Burkina Faso, West Africa
- Abstract: Annona senegalensis Pers. (Annonaceae) is a multipurpose shrub species, but threatened in Burkina Faso. Therefore, understanding its natural regeneration is a challenge for the sustainable management of the species resources. Our study examines the regeneration potentials of A. senegalensis across two phytogeographic zones. The structure of Weibull showed that the distribution of the regener...

Stem cutting size influence on sprouting and survival of stem cuttings of
African teak (Milicia excelsa (Welw.) in Kenya
- Abstract: African Teak (Milicia excelsa (Welw.) belongs to the Moraceae family. Vegetative propagation has been proposed to overcome some of the reproductive biology challenges in the species. The study was to determine the influence of stem size on sprouting and survival of stem cuttings of African teak. The experiment was conducted at Egerton University, Njoro, Kenya. The propagation materials were ...

Allelopathic and shading effects of Mangifera indica L. on germination and
early growth performance of associated crops
- Abstract: Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is widely grown as an agroforestry tree in different parts of the world especially in Ethiopia. However, its dense canopy and expected allelopathic effect make it very difficult to survive for many of the associated crops grown under it. Therefore, current study was undertaken with the main objective to investigate the allelopathic and shading effects of mango on ...

Rooting African Sandalwood stem cuttings using low-cost technology
employed in the commercial propagation of Camellia sinensis in Kenya
- Abstract: Osyris lanceolata (African Sandalwood) is endangered in the wild due to poor natural regeneration and over-exploitation for the highly valued sandalwood oil. The domestication of O. lanceolata is hampered by erratic and unreliable supply of seeds. A study on the rooting of O. lanceolata stem cuttings was conducted using a low-cost technology employed in commercial rooting stem cuttings of te...

Sustainable biomass energy production and utilization in sub-Saharan
Africa: A case study of Kenya
- Abstract: This paper reviews biomass energy production and utilization trends, opportunities, challenges and strategies for sustainability in biomass energy sector in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This is because despite various benefits provided by the resource, it receives little attention in terms of policy formulation and planning to enhance adequate investments and allocation of funds. Therefore, wit...

Substrate temperature and seed scarification on germination parameters of
butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.)
- Abstract: Recent interest in the cultivation and use of butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea L.) has increased demand for its commercial production. Successful germination of seed is a critical first step to its production; however, few studies have documented factors influential to germination success. To help support commercial production efforts, the influence of substrate temperature and seed scarific...

Effects of tillage methods and poultry manure rates on the production of
Carrot (Daucus carota L) in Nsukka, Southeast Nigeria
- Abstract: Carrot (Daucus carota L.) has historically been classified as a northern crop because it predominantly grows in the northern regions of Nigeria. Transportation of harvested roots to the south has consequently resulted to decay, shrinkage, loss of roots due to high temperature and long distant travels, high cost of produce etc. The objective was to find out the variety and tillage method that...

The impacts of post plantation management practices on growth and survival
rate of selected tree species in Mirab Abaya District, Southern Ethiopia:
An experimental approach
- Abstract: The impacts of post-plantation management practices (urea, farm yard manure, and combinations of urea and farmyard manure) on the growth and survival rates of selected indigenous and exotic tree species Cordia africana, Olea europaea, Grevillea robusta, and Cupressus lusitanica at Sutte micro-watershed, Morode kebele in Mirab Abaya district, South Ethiopia were investigated. Soil samples wer...
