| Erosion control in Nigeria must be met with high standards in other to attain a sustainable agricultural practice to meet the demand of the growing population in terms of food production. The study is aimed at estimating soil loss using a locally made rainfall simulator and accertaining the performance of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model in predicting soil loss in the study location. For this to investigated, experiments were conducted using rainfall simulators, which is readily not available in Nigeria due to its high cost. The drop velocity (DV) of the constructed rainfall simulator was calculated to be 8.101m/s and 2.443 m/s respectively when operated at maximum and minimum intensity. The performance test revealed that the experimental... |

| Treated sewage sludge (Defective) has been identified to increase heavy metals in the soil which are in turn transferred to plants. In view of this, the study is aimed at assessing the effects of treated sewage sludge on the quality parameters of okra fruits. The randomized block design was employed in raising okra plants with three treatments (0t/ha, 10t/ha, and 20t/ha sewage sludge amendment) over a land area of 56.3m2. Soil analysis was used to determine the level of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the soil. After 2months, the okra fruits were harvested by cutting the pods off, slicing, oven drying, milling, and labeled correctly prior to laboratory analysis. The heavy metal content in the okra fruit were analysed using atomic absorption... |

| This study examines the pollution and geo-accumulation indices and the ecological assessment of heavy metal concentrations in dump sites in Kogi, Nasarawa and Niger States of North Central Nigeria. Analysis of the soil from the dumpsites indicates the presence of Aluminium, Chromium, Copper, Manganese, Iron, and Zinc at the various dump sites. The accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils is of increasing concern because of food safety, potential health risks and its detrimental effects on the soil ecosystem. The pollution Index of Cr is an alarming 30.83, 9.69, 13.21, 24.33, 24.10 and 16.54 in Lokoja, Kabba, Okene, Borgu, Bida, and Minna respectively. The concentration of Cu was observed to be 48.10, 29.57 and 29.41 in Borgu, Kabba and Minna... |
