Hygienic, affordable and environmentally friendly water packaging container
Disposable plastic drink containers are a major global environmental problem. In many countries, Coca-Cola and other drinks are packaged in non-disposable glass bottles. -
Non-cancer risk assessment from exposure to mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu) and lead (Pb) in boreholes and surface water in Tinga, in the Bole-Bamboi District, Ghana
The study assessed non-cancer human health risk from exposure to mecury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) in surface and groundwater in Tinga, in the Bole-Bamboi District. A total of 42 water samples were collected for a period of six months. Mean concentration of Hg, Cd, and Pb were found to be (0.050 ± 0.04 mg/L), (0.031 ± 0.02 mg/L) and (0.07 ± 0.05 mg/L), respectively. -
Genetic Variability of Cassava Progenies Developed through Introgression of Cassava Mosaic Disease Resistance into Ghanaian Landraces
Availability of genetic diversity is important in selecting suitable cultivars for crop improvement. Progenies of crosses between 19 farmer-preferred cassava landraces and Cassava Mosaic Disease (CMD)-resistant cultivar TME 11 were evaluated and compared with their maternal parents to assess their genetic variability and genetic gains based on CMD tolerance, some growth variables and root yield. -

The Earth’s land resources are finite, whereas the number of people that the land must support continues to grow rapidly. -
Micro-organisms associated with fruit fly infestation in mango fruits
One of the major setbacks with the mango production and export is the incidence tephritid fruit flies. As the female oviposits on the fruits, bacteria on the surface of the fruit are pushed into the fruit resulting in decay, allowing for secondary infestations by other microorganisms in addition to gut bacteria. -
