| Abstract: Field experiment was conducted at the teaching and research farm of Cross River University of Technology, Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry, Obubra Campus. The study was aimed at finite modelling of growth and yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) using different tillage systems. Randomised Complete Block Design (RCBD) was used in the field, 1,024m2 with three treatments and three replicates. These treatments were Conventional, Conservative and Zero tillage. Each treatment had three replicates of size 8m x 8m, separated from each other by 2m for manoeuvring of the tractor. Planting of okra and other cultural practices were carried out. Soil samples were collected for analysis in the laboratory. Data on growth parameters and yield of okra... |

| Four instrumented subsoilers were developed for alleviation of compaction on agricultural land. Draughts and soil disturbance of the subsoilers were measured during operation at the outdoor soil bin. Straight shank subsoiler (SSS), semi-parabolic subsoiler (SPS), parabolic ‘C’ shank subsoiler (CSS) and winged subsoiler (WSB) were designed and constructed for use by the tool carrier in loosening soil hard pan. Soil cone penetrometer (CP40II, 333 mm3, 60o cone tip angle) and electronic moisture meter were used to take readings at various locations and depths on the soil bin before and after subsoiling. Soil samples were taken to laboratory for analysis for physico-chemical properties. Each of the shanks was hitched to the tool bar of the carrier. A 100 kN... |
