“…Those may be the reasons for increase root length in fruit peel applied okra plants compared with control. It is in line with Sakpere et al (2018) who noted that root length was enhanced by fruit peels treated Solanum scabrum plants than untreated plants. Bakry et al (2016) who stated that banana peel extract significantly increased chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total carotenoids and consequently total pigments and maximum increase of the photosynthetic pigments.…”

Purpose : Fruit peels waste is one of the waste accumulate in huge quantity every day. It is a serious problem and need to be managed to make environment free from pollution. Fruit peels are very rich in macro and micro nutrients that are beneficial for plant growth. By using fruit peel as fertilizer we can reduce load of wastes and can get more benefits than inorganic fertilizer. Research Method : The experiment was carried out in a Completely Randomized Design with six treatments having twenty replicates. Treatments were, recommended fertilizer application at basal and topdressing (T1, control), half dose of recommended fertilizer application at basal and topdressing times with 1g of banana peel powder (T2), 1g of pomegranate peel powder (T3), 1g of orange peel powder (T4), 0.5g each of banana and pomegranate peel powders (T5) and 0.5g each of orange and banana peel powders (T6) at both times. All agronomic practices were followed as per Department of Agriculture, Sri Lanka except fertilizers. Findings : The results reveals that application of fruit peel powder at basal and top dressing had significant differences (P<0.05) on plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, chlorophyll content, days to 50% and 100% flowering, dry weights of leaves, stem, root and fruit, fruit length and girth. At 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th picking, and the highest value was obtained in T6 and lowest value in T1. Originality/ Value : Application of fruit peel powder into the soil leads to improve growth and yield of okra in sandy regosol compared to recommended inorganic fertilizer and present study suggested that, among the all tested treatments, half recommended fertilizer application at basal and topdressing times with 0.5g each of orange and banana peel powders at both times would be the most suitable fruit peel powders to get higher growth and yield of okra in sandy regosol.

“…Bakry et al (2016) noted that foliar application of banana peel extract helps to increased root dry weight of quinoa plants compared to the untreated plants. Sakpere et al (2018) noted that root length of Solanum scabrum plants were enhanced by fruit peel treated plants than untreated plants.…”

“…However, for future research, natural products such as honey, coconut water and Moringa oleifera leaf extract (Sakpere et al (2018) confirmed the extract to be effective for stimulating plant growth), which are readily available and more cost effective, should be used as an alternative to Indole butyric acid.…”

Afzelia africana is at the verge of extinction from continuous exploitation without replacement, thus propagation of this tree species is expedient. Vegetative propagation is a reliable means of propagation of tree species. This study therefore describes a protocol for the vegetative propagation of Afzelia africana by using stem cuttings from its mature tree (20 years old) and saplings (2 years old). Herbaceous (non - lignified portion of the stem) and semi – hard wood cuttings (lignified portion of the stem) (with and without leaves) were treated with high and low concentrations of Indole butyric acid (IBA) solution via the quick dip and the soaking method of application and planted on forest soil and river sand in a humidifier. Cuttings from mature tree planted on forest soil and river sand did not respond to any treatment. Also, no response was observed on cuttings collected from saplings and planted on forest soil; however, cuttings planted on river sand sprouted. The presence and absence of leaves and IBA treatment had an interaction effect on root number (0.02) and root length (0.0001). The response from herbaceous cuttings was significantly higher than from semi – hard wood cuttings with respect to root number (1.00) and root length (5.82 cm). Cutting type and IBA treatment also had an interaction effect on root number (0.05) and root length (0.0007). Herbaceous leafy stem cuttings of A. africana treated with 400 ppm IBA and planted on river sand is suitable for rooting stem cuttings of A. africana for raising seedlings for reforestation, afforestation and other conservation purposes. © 2020 International Formulae Group.

Aflatoxin contamination of baby food flour sold on Haitian markets

Mycotoxins (Mox) are secondary metabolites produced by filamentous moulds. Among Mox, aflatoxins (AFs) are noted as the most preoccupant carcinogen substances known. AFs contaminate several food materials and derived products such as flour. The present investigation aimed at evaluating the AF contaminations of maize, cassava, moringa and rice flour products utilized as baby food in Haiti. Twenty five samples were collected in South Haiti (from street's vendors and, Les Cayes markets and supermarkets). Those products were tested for AFs content using and following Reveal ® Q+ aflatoxin test (Neogen ®) supply instruction. Results reveal that AF contaminations of substrates range from 2.7 and 119 ppb. Cereal products were more AF contaminated compared to tuber and moringa. Maize flour samples were more AF contaminated than rice. AF contaminations of maize seem to depend on provenance (p< 0.05). AF contaminations of maize from Iron and Relais markets were respectively 5.2 and 32.1 ppb. Moreover, AF contaminations of maize collected from street vendors represented almost seven times of that from Les Cayes supermarkets. Similar results suggest necessity to perform and develop programs for managing AF contaminations on baby food in Haiti.
