“…Jasa et al (1999) obtained the highest sorghum grain yield from no-till plots in a study carried out under soybean/ sorghum rotation in a dry land in USA. On the ferruginous soil, in sub-humid zone of Nigeria, Mohammed-Saleem et al (1987) found that planting sorghum on ridge gave 60% higher grain yield than planting on flat. At Morogoro, Tanzania, Huxley (1979) observed that seedling emergence of sorghum in no-till soil was worse than in fully tilled soil and that seedling in no-till soil suffered more severely during drought and had lower yield.…”

“…The soil fertility is high, and FAO, (1996) rates them as having good potentials. Although the soils are highly sensitive to erosion and have low water retention capacity, adequate management practices can help improve their fertility (Mohamed-Saleem, 1986).…”

Wetlands are among the most precious ecosystems in the world, sensitive to changes in land use, affecting their distribution, health, quality, functions and provisioning services they provide. This study assessed how land use change and socio-economic activities are driving wetland conversions in Kaduna Metropolis from 1986 to 2020. Landsat images (189/053) and SRTM DEM were obtained from USGS. These images were processed using ERDAS Imagine 2014 and the study area was extracted using mask tool. Decision-tree classification was used to identify and map the wetlands in the study area, and indices-based classification using eCognition 9.0 was used to carry out the land use land cover change detection. Result of the analysis showed an overall accuracy of 94% (0.93 Kappa) for 1986 classification, and 90% (0.88 Kappa) for the 2020 classification. The study revealed that only the built-up areas increased from 72.47 km2 to 239.88 km2, riparian vegetation reduced from 88.39 km2 to 70.96 km2, open water bodies reduced from 6.67 km2 to 4.89 km2, agricultural land also reduced from 424.80 km2 to 356.99 km2, bare land reduced from 169.22 km2 to 101.21 km2 and undisturbed vegetation also reduced from 150.39 km2 to 138.56 km2. The study concluded that settlement expansion as the primary driver of wetland changes in Kaduna metropolis. The study therefore recommends creation of buffer zones around the wetlands in order to prevent further encroachment.

“…to the individual and nation at large [10]. Several surveys and studies of ruminants kept by the rural farmers, and even in the markets, across the country revealed that the animals are mostly infected with one form of diseases/pests or the other [11,12]. Most of the diagnosed livestock diseases in the country have been identified to be bacterial, viral, fungal and parasitic-caused diseases [13].…”
