Growth and yield performance of different exotic strains of eight pleurotus species cultivated on Triplochiton scleroxylon in Ghana
The mycelia growth rate, physical characteristics of first flush, number of flushes and biological efficiency of twenty three exotic strains of eight Pleurotus species grown on composted sawdust of Triplochiton scleroxylon K (Schum) were studied. -
Growth Performance and Cost-Effectiveness of Farm-Made and Commercial Tilapia Starter Diets in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) Fingerling Production in Ghana
This study investigated the growth performance and cost-effectiveness in producing an average of 2.0 g Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings using a farm-made tilapia starter diet (ARDECFEED) and two commonly used commercial ones (MULTIFEED and RAANAN) by tilapia hatchery operators in Ghana. -
Growth, Development and Yield of Cassava Progeny as Affected by Nutrient Status of Mother Plant 1
Cassava is a very important staple crop in Ghana, contributing significantly to the country's Agricultural GDP. Majority of farmers in eight out of the ten regions in Ghana cultivate the crop due to its ability to grow on marginal lands. The crop has until recently seen little improvement in their husbandry practices. Cassava yields on farmers’ fields are low (8-10 t/ha) with potential yields of 30 to 40 t/ha. A major factor contributing to this low yield is the low soil fertility and the poor quality of the planting material.
