Maafiaalady:
wow thanks....didnt know that....it's very medicinal....also called Leaf of life....how about the first two....anybody knows?
It is also called: "Resurrection plant"

Very good for convulsive patients.

Pictures of the first two, not really detailed; u need to provide more descriptive features. plants do look very similar. If the first plant has spiky leaves, it maybe: Acanthus Montana

The last two are the same: Bryophyllum pinnatum
EducationRe: UNIBEN Produces Heads Of 8 Tertiary Institutions In One Year by drake2(m): 7:47pm On Apr 24, 2016
In truth; besides Michael Opkara University, I have not heard of other Institutions.

Why can't Michael opkara university produce its own VC? I know a few very good Professors I have worked with from that School. Maybe due to internal bickering and stalemate.

These things can't happen in d University of Ibadan; my School I should emphasize.

AgricultureRe: Growing Vegetables (pepper/ogu) In Abuja Using Irrigation by drake2(m): 6:43pm On Mar 30, 2016
Ok, very cool. I am happy to learn about your harvest index hiting x3.

Now that u have explained d reason for the muddiness, ayam ok. But All of us should take note that when farming vegetables, our sources and types of inputs matter alot.

Plants assimilate anything in soil Solutions indiscriminately and utilize d useful ones. The toxic ones, if they dont kill d plants are stored somewhere else that do not interfere with d plant metabolism and physiology.

In vegetables, when sometimes d whole plant is harvested for delicacies, need i say d rest?

Op weldone and Goodluck!

Visits university of Ibadan department of agriculture
Hi there! I specifically did not mention UI because I still do not know OP's location. I actually finished from Agronomy department of the University of Ibadan. If OP considers UI ok, I got Femi, Mathew and Mr. Paul's Numbers to share with OP. (All of them work in the Soil Analytical Labs).

Another Good-luck to OP.!

Curiouscity:
What do you think is wrong with his source of water? I am of the view that his source is a natural source. So please can you enlighten us?
Before before, them scientists use to think that, the muddier the water, the more plant nutrients it contains. But this is not so. I only frowned at the OP's water source because He or She is involved in vegetable cultivation. The chances of contamination (E.coli and the rest) is very realistic and also from some of the pictures of the fruiting pepper, isn't it obvious something was wrong with both the leaves and fruits?

May I quickly ask the OP, since an adequate background check was done before embarking on the project; how would you compare your yield with what you found in literature?

Did you guys know that, very clean vegetables which require no washing before eating are now grown in clean hydroponics?

Abeg nor vex, shutting my loud mouth. Back to my work now.
AgricultureRe: Growing Vegetables (pepper/ogu) In Abuja Using Irrigation by drake2(m): 10:28pm On Mar 29, 2016
Since you are growing vegetables, i am concerned about the source and quality of irrigation water which i saw in your pictures.

You may be selling more than vegetables to your customers at harvest. Also, you are very likely gonna conciously introduce and increase disease and pest incidences in your vegetable farm.

Just my scientific facts and fears though, but plenty of Goodluck all the same.
AgricultureRe: Please Does Anyone Know Where I Can Carry Out A Soil Fertility Test..??? by drake2(m): 8:35pm On Mar 29, 2016
What is the land use history of the plot? When you visited the plot, what is the nature and type of vegetation in it?

what is the soil nutrients requirements of oil palms and does the location, ecosystem and climatic conditions surport the growth of oil palms?

Depending on your location, most Agronomy departments in Universities can help you Analyze soil samples, but it does not end there. You need sound interpretation of analytical results bearing in mind other factors mentioned in paragraph 2 to be able to make informed decisions.

Additionally, I believe most Agricultural Research Institutes should have soil analytical labs including IITA.

Goodluck in your endeavour!

the screening was just verifications of original document.

some are saying the training is 3 months while others are saying its a month but all they it was stated on d form that applicants must not be engaged in other jobs..
I told them, that i wanted to replicate the type of activities my office does and that i have gained immense experience in the sector. I told them i was not satisfied with my monthly pay and wanted to improve my life and others who will be engaged by me.

When one of them asked me how I wud cope between the activities; I told him point blank that i will quite my current Job.

Happily, the Madam in charge wished me very well and success on my proposed YAGEP project and looks forward to hearing about it and meeting me.

I just told her, God Bless You Ma. Many who did not tackle the questions well were ruffled up and it took such much time per person.

I hope this has explained it a bit more.

scofieldsimba:
A bottle of beer sells for N180 at a local joint (N500 upwards in clubs and hotels). If U drink an average of five bottles a day @ N180 that makes it 35 bottles a week. In a year dat makes it 1820 bottles amounting to N327,600
Just imagine folks drinking for 30yrs.. that'll amount to N9.8million.

Men have drank bungalows, duplexes & estates!!!

FoodRe: How To Make Coconut Oil by drake2(m): 3:40pm On Dec 10, 2015
AmJane:
Ok, thanks. But I still want to make my own with my hands. This life is a learning process right? I have bought the coconuts. Just the procedures and we are good to go
At InterCEDD (International center for ethnomedicine and drug development), we use the cold pressing method (It requires a machine). The long chain organic molecules in the oil are very volatile and will loose its original configuration and quality if subjected to the heating method which is what you are probably asking for.

If you are insistent on doing it yourself and also the most efficacious way; the cold press method is your best bet. Any other way will produce an oil with little or no evidence based efficacy.

Plenty of Good luck though!
