Effects Of Steam Sterilized Soil On Anthracnose Severity, Growth And Yield Of Common Bean Genotypes (phaseolus Vulgaries L.) Under Screen House Conditions
Common bean anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is an economically important disease in Kenya. The pathogen survives on infected crop debris, seeds and in soil for up to three years. Therefore soil is an important component of study on anthracnose disease epidemiology in beans. Soil sterilization in screenhouse experiments is intended to eliminate the effect of soil pathogenic microbes where
Participatory Variety Selection: Farmers Participation In Pigeon Pea (cajanus Cajan L., Millisp.) Genotypes Selection In Southern Tanzania

Market Fundamentalism And Education Policy: India At The Cross Roads
Higher education and research have always received handsome allocation from government and receiving support from corporates in developed countries which witness a healthy congruence between high economic growth and Human Development Index (HDI). Some of the Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) have become significant manufacturing hubs by universalizing education and improving their Incremental Capital Output Ratio (ICOR). Allocational priority to sectors
Empirical Validity Of Revealed Preference Theory: Analysis From The Choices Of Gsm Subscribers In Taraba State, Nigeria
The revealed preference theory, which is considered empirical, stipulates that a consumer’s behaviour can be observed from his purchasing habits. This implies that his choice reveals his preference such that if he purchases a specific bundle of goods, then that bundle is “revealed preferred,” given fixed income and prices, to any other bundle that he consumer could afford.

Rainfall Characteristics At Makurdi, North - Central Nigeria
Rainfall characteristics were evaluated in Makurdi in the Guinea Savanna agroclimatic belt of Nigeria.. The mean Annual rainfall was 1140mm.The highest rainfall amount per storm event was 71.7mm while the highest six- minute rainfall intensity was 240mmh-1. Advanced storms were dominant. Up to 68 percent of rainstorms fell at intensities exceeding 25mmh-1. Thus the rains were dominantly erosive (Hudson, 1981).
