| Accelerated compost (AC) is a newly developed commercial compost from market organic wastes and animal manure with composting accelerated within twenty one (21) days using a specific microorganism. However, information on effect of AC on soil properties is scarce. Therefore a field experiment was conducted in Ibadan to assess the effect of an AC on the properties of an Alfisol using maize (Zea mays L.) as a test crop. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatments were AC at the rates of 60, 90, 120, 150 and 180 kgN/ha; while NPK 15-15-15 mineral fertilizer and conventional compost (CC) at 60 kgN/ha and an absolute control (no soil additive) were used as checks. Data collected on post cropping soil... |

| Yams (Dioscorea spp.) are widely grown throughout the tropics. Three yam species constitute the staple for more than 60 million people in five West African coastal countries, where more than 90% of the world's production takes place. Here we give a general introduction to yams, including their origin and geographic distribution as well as different types of yams common in Africa and Asia, and outline their uses. However, the main body in this chapter pertains to the agricultural production practices, including information on climatic requirements, soil type and land preparation, propagation, agronomic practices, pests and diseases (and their control), harvesting, curing and storage. Finally, we elaborate on the need for future research, in particular on... |

| The need for an increased production of vegetables to meet the human dietary necessitated a research in the use of different organic resources, for improving the soil fertility as well as improved yield and quality of amaranth. Thus, this report investigated the potential of two brewery waste based composts on soil fertility for amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) and Jackbean (Canavalia ensiformis) intercrop. Six treatmentsL Compost IBBW1 (Ibadan brewery waste-based compost Grade A), Compost IBBW2 (Ibadan brewery waste-based compost Grade B), Compost IBBW1+ Jackbean (JB), Compost IBBW2+ Jackbean (JB), Jackbean and control (no fertilizer) were used. The compost was applied at the rate of 100 kgN/ha. The experiment was laid in a randomized complete block design... |
