THE IMPACT OF SELECTED MACRO-ECNONOMIC VARIABLES ON LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA, 1972 - I994

ABSTRACTLivestock sector plays a tangible role in the Nigerian economy, even though, it is still far from attaining self sufficiency. Thus government instituted a series of macroeconomic policies designed to improve the production of this sector. This study was carried out to determine the effect...

GENETIC ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL TRAITS RELATED TO DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.)

ABSTRACTDrought stress is one of the major constraints in groundnut producing areas of Sub-Sahara Africa as its yield is reduced by 56-85%. Mitigating this constraint requires the selection of resilient genotypes that withstand drought threats to groundnut production. The objectives of this study...

GENETIC VARIABILITY FOR YIELD AND OTHER AGRONOMIC TRAITS OF GROUNDNUT(ARACHIS HYPOGAEA L.) AS INDUCED BY SODIUM AZIDE

ABSTRACTGroundnut improvement, through conventional method of breeding may not be able to create desired variability on which a robust breeding programme could be built. Also, groundnut as a self- pollinating crop naturally would have less variability in its gene pool. Thus, the present study was...
