Abstract:

Soil is a part of the earth that is made up of various mixtures, including organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life. Because soil is used to cultivate foods for animals worldwide, it plays a critical role in the global cultivation of wheat, rice, mustard, vegetables, and fruits, among other crops. Nigerian agriculture uses this soil, and the physical and chemical conditions of the land make it necessary to implement other management practices properly. For this reason, the physicochemical study of soil is very significant because it considers both the

Phoenix dactylifera (date fruit) is one of the nutritious and healthiest fruits due to its excellent nutritional properties, and many beneficial health and medicinal properties. The aim of this study was to evaluate sperm parameters and testicular histology of male Wistar rats treated with Phoenix dactylifera after consumption of a dose of local Mmahi salt (local salt of Ebonyi State origin, in Nigeria). Fresh date fruits, Mmahi salt, rat feed, clean drinking water, and 24 male wistar rats were the main materials for this study. The rats were divided into 6 groups: Group 1 (negative control gr

In Nigeria and many other African countries, fruit juice is almost becoming a luxury found only on the table of the rich. Processing of raw fruits or juice concentrate into juice is done by large-scale industries, resulting in high and unaffordable prices for the low-income earners in developing countries. The African star apple (Agbalumo) has not had such attention that attracts the extraction of its juice on a large scale. This design project, therefore, highlights the numerous nutritional benefits of Abgalumo and focuses on the development of an equipment that would effectively extract the
