Author Information Genelyn G. Madjos  from the Institute of the  Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics, Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City, Philippines Journal Name Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences | JBES Abstract Nickel miningposed a serious environmental problem due to run-offs and tailings. To address this, current techniques include excavation, chemical stabilization and soil flushing, but these methods are costly and impractical. One of the ecologically accepted treatments is phytoremediation. With the capacity of Centella asiatica (gotu kola) to thrive in moist soils with domestic effluents, this present study sought to evaluate its phytoremediation potential by employing an experimental design with three replicates of: (a

Physicochemical and enzymatic activities of mining effluent contaminated soil from Ishiagu Ebonyi State South- East Nigeria

-
Soil physicochemical parameters and enzymatic activities of mining effluent contaminated soil of Ishiagu, Ebonyi State Nigeria were evaluated. Effluents of Crush Rock, Crush Stone and Ezza quarry sites in Ishiagu were used for the study. Homogenized soil samples were  collected at  a  distance of 100m (sample B), 200m (sample C) away from discharge points (sample A) from each of the sites at a depth of 0-30cm. The physicochemical properties investigated  showed  significant  difference  in  the  test  samples  when compared  to  control  (P<0.05).  Enzymatic activities correlated negatively with heavy metal concentration. This shows that the enzymatic activities increased with distance away from the discharged points.

Evaluation of farm yard manure and some selected preemergence herbicides on the growth and yield of cotton in Samaru- Zaria, Nigeria

Evaluation of farm yard manure and some selected preemergence herbicides on the growth and yield of cotton in Samaru- Zaria, Nigeria Field experiments were conducted in 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons to evaluate the effect of farm yard manure levels (0, 10, 20, and 30) tonnes per hectare and some selected pre-emergence herbicides (Alachlor, Metalachlor, Diuron  and  Oxadiazon)  @  1  kilogramme  active  ingredient  per  hectare  on  the  growth  and  yield  of  cotton  in Samaru, Zaria. Results obtained showed that an increase in farm yard manure level led to an increase in mean values of treatments for characters assessed. The control treatment of 0 tonnes of farm yard manure per hectare at P = 0.05 significantly produced lower mean  values for characters measured, while  30 tonnes per  hectare of farm yard manure at P = 0.05 significantly produced higher mean values for characters observed.  Alachlor at P = 0.05 significantly produced lower mean values on characters assessed, while
