Seed Scarification and Plant Extracts Enhanced Germination, Seed Health and Seedlings Vigour of Tetrapleura tetraptera
Seed dormancy and seed-borne fungi are main constraints to the domestication of edible non-timber forest products such as Tetrapleura tetraptera.

Screening of Mineral Solubilizing Microbes and Rhizobium for Growth Promotion and Development of Acacia leucocephala Grown under Nursery Conditions
The application aspect of microbial strains especially mineral solubilization in individual and /or combination under glasshouse and field conditions with respect to enhancement in plant of Acacia leucocephala was the main objective of the present for which 11 fungi, 5 bacteria, and 11 isolates of Rhizobia had been used.

DNA Fingerprinting of Date Palm Varieties (Phoenix dactylifera L.) Grown in Sudan Using ISSR Markers and SDS-PAGE
Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) family (Arecaceae) is the most important and ancient cultivated species in Sudan. Protein-based (SDS-PAGE) and Inter- Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) PCR) were used to identify genetic distance and design the phylogenetic tree for the five different date palm varieties (Mishriq, Barhi, Khadrawi, Sagay, and Khenaizy).

Population Effect on Individual Crop Growth, Development, and Yield in Rainfed Maize in Southern Guinea Savanna Ecological Zone of Nigeria
Maize yield is closely related to plant population; more plants mean higher yield. However, there are limitations to increasing plant population in tropical conditions.

Positive Role of Applied Chitosan as a Supplement Fertilizer on Okra Plants
This experiment was conducted under modified greenhouse (net house) conditions at the Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate (CLAC), Agricultural Research Center (ARC), to investigate the effect of using chitosan as a supplement fertilizer.

Measuring the Degree of Adaptive Capacity of Farmers to Climate Change along River Niger in Kogi State, Nigeria
Climate change threatens people with increased flooding, extreme heat, increased food and water scarcity, more disease, and economic loss. Human migration and conflict can also be a result.
