Regrowth potential of Panicum maximum (Ntchisi) and Andropogon tectorum as affected by fertilizer types during late rainy-season in Abeokuta, derived Savanna zone of Nigeria

Nigerian Journal of Animal Production, 2022
Fertilizer applications has been widely utilized to improve soil fertility, and consequently enhanced plant productivity. Yet, the best fertilizer type for late rainy season forage production is rarely tested in Nigeria. Hence, an experiment was conducted to investigate the regrowth potential of two tropical grasses during late rainy season in Abeokuta,

Forage nutritional properties of Four Accessions of Andropogon gayanus-Andropogon tectorum in Southwestern Nigeria

COAST Journal of the School of Science, 2023
Accessions of Andropogon gayanus-Andropogon tectorum collected from Southwestern Nigeria were evaluated for their forage nutritional properties and potentials as fodder using standard procedures. Field trips for plant collection covered the agro-ecological zones of the following states in Nigeria: Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo and the parts used were

HYBRIDIZATION, PGLYPLGIDY AND APOMIXIS IN ANDROPOGON TECTORUM SCHUM. AND THONN. (GRAMINEAE)

New Phytologist, 1983
SummaryNatural populations of Andropogon tectorum from various parts of Nigeria have been investigated and found to contain diploid and triploid chromosome races. Intraspecific hybrids were obtained between two morphologically and cytologically distinct diploids.

Enhancing phytoremediation potential of Andropogon tectorum (Schumach & Thonn) in petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated soil using cassava peel

2020
This study investigated the effects of cassava peel amendment on phytodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon polluted site grown with Andropogon tectorum. The study was carried out in Botem community in Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State. The experiment comprised four- treatment set-up; T1 (Crude oil polluted soil + Andropogon tectorum), T2 (Crude

Growth and cost of producing Red Sokoto goats fed brewer’s dried grains and malted sorghum sprouts in Andropogon tectorum hay meal based diet

2020
The growth and cost of producing Red Sokoto (RS) goats were evaluated using brewer’s dried grains (BDG) and malted sorghum sprouts (MSP) in complete diets containing Andropogon tectorum hay meal (ATHM). The experiment was conducted using a completely randomised design (CRD).

Stylosanthes hamata spacing effect on utilization of Andropogon tectorum by west African dwarf sheep

2010
Twenty four West African Dwarf (WAD) sheep of an average initial weight range of 10.14- 10.50 kg were used to investigate the feed intake and digestibility of Andropogon tectorum interplanted with Stylosanthes hamata at varying inter-row spacing of 0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5m. The grasses cut from experimental plots were used as experimental diets 1, 2, 3 and

Comparative performance of fertilizer types on growth, yield of Panicum maximum var. Ntchisi (JAC) and Andropogon tectorum during early rainy season in Abeokuta South West, Nigeria

2018
An experiment was conducted to examine comparative performance of fertilizer types on growth and yield of Panicum maximum and Andropogon tectorum during the early rainy season in Abeokuta. It consists of three factors namely: 4 fertilizer types, 2 grass species and 2 age at harvest allotted to main plots, sub plots and sub-sub-plots respectively. It is

Study of the effect of the mineral fertilization and planting density on the production Andropogon tectorum (Schumach &Thonn)

The progressive reduction in grazing space is one of the difficulties encountered by all types of livestock farming in C & ocirc;te d'Ivoire in terms of feed, which accounts for around 50 % to 70 % of production costs. The aim of this study was to improve biomass production from the forage grass Andropogon tectorum (Schumach & Thonn) in order ...
