    (Agricultural Research Communication Centre, 2021-01) Olayinka, B.U; Abdulbaki, A.S; Mohammed, R.T; Alsamadany, H; Murtadha, R.B; Alzahrani, Y; Abdulaziz, A; Abdulkareem, K.A; Etejere, E.O
    Background: The low yield in groundnut which can be partly attributed to poor land preparation methods necessitated the need for alternative strategy of land preparation that will promote higher productivity in groundnut farming. Methods: A field experiment was carried out in two separate locations between May and August in 2016 to assess the effect of planting methods on growth and yield of groundnut cultivars. Result: The results revealed that groundnut crop sown on modified ridges and furrow with narrow furrow planting recorded significantly higher plant height, number of leaves, 50% flowering, yield attributes and yield when compared to other methods of planting All the groundnut cultivars responded positively to all planting methods except those grown on flat surface without beds. However, modified ridges and furrow with narrow furrow planting proved to be the best method.

    The objective of this study was to determine the effect of salt stress on the growth yield and nutri tional quality of two okra varieties. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Clemenson spineless NHA-e varieties of okra were the two varieties tested. The treatments used comprised four salinity levels (0 mM, 25 mM, 50 mM, and 75 mM) us ing sodium chloride as the salinity source. The varieties were assessed using plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, days to first flowering and fruit weight. Furthermore, moisture, carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat, ash and crude fiber contents were used to assess the fruit nutritional qualities. The results showed that Clemenson spineless variety had better tolerance to salinity stress in plant height, days to flowering, fruit mass, ash content and crude protein content. However, NHA-e variety was more tolerant in fruit dry matter, crude fibre content, carbohydrate content and ether extract content. It is concluded that Clemenson spineless was more tolerant to salinity stress than NHA-e variety. Therefore, Clemenson spineless variety should be used in saline areas of Ilorin which is the northern guinea savannah zone of Nigeria and places with the same edaphic and climatic attributes
