Abstract:

The suspended fine particulate matter concentrations in Makurdi and Otukpo Metropolis were measured using Haz-Dust Sampler (AMS 95015). The measurements were carried out at major observed emission sources such as residential and traffic related sources. On the average, traffic- related sources recorded the highest concentration of suspended fine particulate matter in both metropolis with the highest concentration in Otukpo metropolis (594 : g/m ). Generally the measured values from all the sources are above World Health Organization (WHO) standards and National Air Quality Standard (150-230 : g/m 3 for 24 hrs). Results show that Otukpo metropolis has the highest fine particulate concentrations from residential and traffic related sources. In order to keep the suspended fine particulate concentrations from rising above prescribed standards, appropriate control measures are recommended.

Abstract:

The study investigated the economics of cassava processing in Otukpo Local Government Area, Benue State, Nigeria. Data were collected using well-structured questionnaire administered to 60 cassava processors. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Profit function, independent sample t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results showed that majority of the processors were within the age group of 31–40 years with mean year of experience of 34 years. They were mostly women with an average of 8 persons per household. Traditional technologies mostly were employed by the cassava processors. The profitability analysis showed that cassava processing into garri (fried cassava granules), chips and fufu/akpu (cassava dough) are profitable, (t =23.55, 11.95, 12.37: P≤ 0.01). Moreover, the result of the ANOVA showed that there was a significant difference (F=44.48:P≤0.01) in the profit level of cassava processed into garri, chips and fufu/akpu. The result of the post-hoc of ANOVA shows that among the three cassava products studied, garri had the highest profit. The cassava processors encountered many set-backs like poor equipment, high cost of transportation, inadequate capital and poor road network even though processing is a viable and profitable venture. Modern processing technologies should be developed and disseminated to processors while adequate infrastructural facilities and credits should also be provided.

Abstract:

The research is aimed to assess the surface and groundwater quality in Otukpo area and environs, Benue State, North Eastern Nigeria. Sixteen water samples were collected from 7 boreholes, 7 hand duck wells and 2 rivers. The water samples were analysed chemically and bacteriologically using spectrophotometric, titrimetric and membrane filtration methods. Analytical results indicated that the groundwater in the area is acidic, fresh and moderately hard. The order of abundance of the cations were in Na+<K+<Mg2+<Ca2+ while the anions were in the order of Cl-<HCO3->SO42-<NO3-. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified four factors that accounts for 69.73% of the total variance. Correlation analysis, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) revealed pollution from application of agricultural fertilizers, anthropogenic contamination and rock-water interaction as the major processes responsible for the modification of surface and groundwater chemistry of the research area. The Gibbs diagram plot shows that, the sample points fall under rock dominance and weathering zones, which suggested precipitation, induced chemical weathering with the dissolution of rock-forming minerals. The piper diagram classified groundwater samples as Ca-Mg-HCO3 water type. Water Quality Index (WQI) values range from 22.05 to 56.13 which indicated good and excellent water category. The SAR values range from 0.02 to 0.66 the values belong to the excellent category and is suitable for irrigation. The overall result revealed that, the water in the research area is suitable for domestic, industrial and irrigation activities.

Abstract:

Field trials were conducted in the wet seasons of 1997 and 1998 at Makurdi, Otukpo and Yandev in the Southern Guinea Savanna ecological zone of Nigeria to study the responses of ten soybean genotypes to intercropping. The experiment was laid out in a randomised complete block design. The genotypes TGX 1807-19F, NCRI-Soy2, Cameroon Late and TGX 1485-1D had the highest grain yield. All the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) values were higher than unity, indicating that there is great advantage in intercropping maize with soybean. The yield of soybean was positively correlated with the days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant and leaf area, indicating that an improvement in any of these traits will be reflected in an increase in seed yield. There was a significant genotype × yield × location interaction for all traits. This suggests that none of these factors acted independently. Similarly, the genotype × location interaction was more important than the genotype × year interaction for seed yield, indicating that the yield response of the ten soybean genotypes varied across locations rather than across years. Therefore, using more testing sites for evaluation may be more important than the number of years.

Abstract:

The study area Ojoma is located in Akpa district of Otukpo Local Government Area of Benue State, Nigeria. The area is underlain by Awgu Shale Formation that comprises shallow marine dark Shales, carbonaceous mudstones, limestones, siltstones and sandstones. The survey applied integrated geophysical techniques such as Induced Polarization and Vertical Electrical Sounding in order to locate a speculative coal deposit and prolific aquifers. ABEM Resistivity meter (Tetrameter SAS 1000) was used for the survey and Interpred 1D Software was used for processing, interpretation of field data and modeling of the subsurface. Four survey profiles (VES 1-4) were established with traverse lines between 1000 – 1300m each. No coal deposit was discovered. However, two aquiferous zones were located at depths of 9 – 12m and 25 – 50m respectively. It is recommended that drilling of boreholes may be carried out to tap water from the second hydrogeologic zone between the depths of 25-50m. The survey result also explained the major features revealed by the survey in terms of the types of likely geological bodies and structures which gave rise to the resistivity curves and models, thereby extending geological knowledge of the area. The underlying structures which gave rise to the geological models are the existence of folded and faulted sedimentary beds in the area.

Abstract:

Maize, an important staple crop is emerging as cash crop particularly for smallholder farmers in Nigeria. This paper evaluates the frequency of maize streak disease on maize sown during late cropping season in three agricultural zones of Benue State, with three maize cultivars; Super 98, Obasuper 1 and a local cultivar at the University of Agriculture Makurdi Research Farm using standard methods. Maize plots were sampled for streak disease from July to November. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA with means separated using FLSD(p=0.05). Spread of maize streak was low (< 20.0%) across the agricultural zones. It was, however, significantly different (p≤0.05) among the zones with 17.2% average, although reached 19.2 % at Zone B in one occasion. Streak severity was equally significant (p≤0.05) but high (3.6%) across zones, reaching its peak, 3.7 at Zone C while zone B (3.4) was least. Disease spread among the LGAs in the State equally differed significantly (p<0.05). Gwer West (21.8%) and Otukpo (19.3%) had the highest spread. Lowest percentage spread of 12.7% and 14.0% were recorded in Konshisha and Katsina Ala, respectively. Streak severity also differed statistically (p<0.05) among the LGAs. Ado and Konshisha were highest with 3.9 and 3.7, respectively while Gwer West, which was highest for disease spread was least in severity. Disease spread in maize experimental plots was more or less comparable to spread in farmers' fields. It was low averaging 10.3%, in plots while severity of disease was high (≥3.5) in experimental plots. Keywords: Benue State, Disease spread, Late season, Maize streak, Zea mays

Abstract:

Hydrogeophysical investigation of groundwater systems in Otukpo, Benue State, Nigeria has been carried out using vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique to delineate the groundwater potentials across the study area. Ten (10) vertical electrical soundings were carried out during the geophysical survey using the Schlumberger configuration of electrical resistivity method with maximum current and potential electrode spacing of 600 meters and 80 meters respectively. The VES data was qualitatively and quantitatively interpreted using the conventional curve matching and computer iteration methods. The result of qualitative interpretation depicts that the VES curves obtained within the study area are mainly the QH and KQH which are typically indicative of a sedimentary terrain. The results of the quantitative interpretation reveal that the resistivity values from shallow subsurface to the depth of about 500 m of the VES stations ranges from 3 Ωm to 1250 Ωm. The VES results also show that the study is characterized by seven (7) different inferred lithological layers namely; topsoil, sand/silt, laterite, clay, shale, sandstone and the basement rock. The result also reveals that the depth to water-saturated unit ranges from 450 to 500 meters within the study area. Two distinguished aquifer types were obtained within the area namely; unconfined and confined aquifers. The findings reveal that the future borehole drillers should target the confined aquifers situated between the depths of 450meters to 500 meters beneath the surface for sustainable groundwater yield across the study area.

Abstract:

Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is usually contaminated with many fungi where some of them are mycotoxigenic causing economic and health problems. This study investigated the percentage composition of fungi contamination of sesame seeds in Benue state Nigeria. Using direct plating technique; the study revealed twelve species of fungi contamination in sesame seed obtained in Benue State. The percentage occurrence of fungal isolates shows that Aspergillus flavus and A. niger were found in all the locations and their occurrence was significantly different (P≤0.05). The percentage contamination of Sesame samples collected from Otukpo LGA has the highest fungal (23.35%) contamination and was significantly higher (P≤0.05) from samples of other places whereas Sesame contamination from Gboko was the least with total percentage of (12.05%). In conclusion, considering the benefits of sesame, it is recommended that several treatments should be applied to reduce the levels of contamination in sesame seeds before consumption utilization such as environmental conditions leading to fungal proliferation (a high temperature, humidity, poor soil fertility, drought and insect damage). Also poor harvesting practices, unsuitable storage conditions, improper transportation, marketing and processing should be discouraged.
