Genotype by environment interaction analysis of grain yield and yield components in provitamin A maize
Selecting superior genotypes for varietal release and commercial use is a key breeding objective. The use of appropriate statistical methods to analyze the complex genotype by environment interaction (GEI) phenomena may increase the efficiency in selecting superior genotypes. -
Geochemical Assessment of the Impact of Mine Tailings Reclamation on the Quality of Soils at AngloGold Concession, Obuasi, Ghana
This study assessed the geochemical impact of mine tailings reclamation on the quality of soils from the AngloGold Concession, Obuasi, Ghana. Soil samples from mine tailings reclamation sites were evaluated for the concentrations of plant nutrients and trace metals. Contaminations of trace metals, using geochemical pollution indices were used to assess possible effects on agriculture and livelihoods. The average pH ranges from 7.6 to 8.4 at the ex-tailing sites while the control site is 6.0. Organic carbon and nitrogen levels at the extailings site are low due to topsoil loss.
