Spatial variability of selected soil properties at the University of Cape Coast teaching and research farm

Adu-Bitherman, Paul (University of Cape Coast, 2011-11)

Knowledge of soil spatial variability and the relationships among soil properties are important for the evaluation of agricultural land management practices and soil research. The study was conducted to assess the spatial ...
Evaluation of local feedstocks for biochar production and potential use of it as soil amendment for lettuce (lactuca sativa.l) production

Atiah, Kofi (university of cape coast, 2012-07)

agricultural waste can be processed under pyrolysis to generate energy for cooking, resulting in a byproduct called biochar. biochar has the potential to be used as a soil amendment but this facility has not been explored ...
Effect of compost as soil amendment on growth, yield and quality of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench)

Amissah, Ransford (University of Cape Coast, 2015-05)

Organic nutrient sources such as compost could be used to improve the low fertility of tropical soils as it has the potential to enhance soil physical, chemical and biological properties and improve growth, yield and quality ...
Heavy metal concentration in cassava cultivated on re-vegetatively restored mined spoils at an Anglogold concession, Obuasi-Ghana

Abubakar, Muhammed (University of Cape Coast, 2015-06)

Mining is one of the main causes of environmental pollution by heavy metals. Re-vegetation of mine spoils is an effective way of restoring the mined land to its pristine status. The study was conducted to assess the ...
Mapping soil quality at Baifikrom small scale irrigration scheme in the central region of Ghana

Oppong-Sarkodie, Vincent Yaw (University of Cape Coast, 2017-07)

Continuous irrigation has been observed to degrade soil quality, through leaching of soluble and colloidal materials, development of saline conditions and breakdown of soil structure. Evaluating the quality of soils give ...
The potassium status of soils and its absorption by cassava in selected farms in the Central Region

Odoom, Emmanuel (University of Cape Coast, 2017-07)

Potassium (K) plays an outstanding role in plants and animals. Cassava, a widely grown staple in Ghana is noted for extracting large amounts of K from the soil. Cassava’s ability to absorb K from the soil is worth studying ...
Influence of fertilizer application, maize variety and tillage system on the incidence and severity of maize streak disease and grain yield

Blankson, Dorcas (University of Cape Coast, 2018-02)

Maize streak disease (MSD), one of the most destructive maize diseases causes an estimated yield loss of about 20 % in Ghana. A baseline survey was conducted from July to August, 2015 across three agro-ecological zones ...
Climate change impacts on the hydrological processes of Densu river basin (drb) using the swat model

Ankomah-Baffoe, Justice (University of Cape Coast, 2018-03)

The impact of climate change is now posing a greater threat on the hydrological cycle leading to drought and water stress in small basins. Matters of climate change have now become a primary concern to most nations due to ...
Effect of Compost and Biochar on Soil Fertility and Cabbage Yield.

Abbey, Charlotte (Universtity of Cape Coast, 2019-04)

ABSTRACT Soil fertility decline remains the major biophysical constraint to low crop productivity on farmlands. Even though inorganic fertilizers play significant role in increasing crop production, they are not a ...
Prevalence of Mealybug Wilt Disease of Pineapple and the Associated Viruses

Nyarko, Joseph (University of Cape Coast, 2019-08)

The study assessed the awareness of mealybug wilt of pineapple (MWP) farmers and their disease management practices in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abirem (KEEA), Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese (AAK), and Ekumfi districts in the Central ...
Improving fertility status of mine tailings for lettuce production using organic and inorganic amendments

Addai, Prince (University of Cape Coast, 2020-09)

Restoration of decommissioned Gold Mine Tailings (GMT) is an environmental challenge. In this study, an attempt was made to evaluate the combined application of organic and inorganic amendments' effects on the growth and ...
Impact of Automobile Waste on Heavy Metal Accumulation and Microbial Activity at two Selected Auto-Mechanic Workshops in Kumasi, (Ashanti Region) - Ghana

Benefo, Samuel Kwasi (University of Cape Coast, 2020-09)

Auto mechanics have over the years played a major role in the transport industry in Ghana by providing services to many road users including; heavy duty cars, tankers, salon cars, commercial vehicle among others. In the ...
Mineral nitrogen and salicylic acid rates and their effects on yield, quality and alternaria blight incidence in cabbage

Ackah, Millicent Aluah (University of Cape Coast, 2021-01)

Cabbage is the main vegetable grown largely in Adarkabrunso/Adeito in the Bosome Freho District in the Ashanti region of Ghana. Lower yields and quality due to Alternaria blight and inappropriate use of fertilizers are ...
Microsatellite based genetic variations and relationships among some farmed Nile tilapia populations in Ghana: Implications on Nile tilapia culture

Addo, Acheampong Kojo (University of Cape Coast, 2021-02)

The study investigated genetic variation and relationships among populations of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in pond fish farms located in six regions of Ghana. Thirty fish specimens were collected from each farm ...
Assessment of production and profitability of stocking sizes and densities of Nile tilapia for small – scale pond farming

Addo, Isaac (University of Cape Coast, 2021-02)

The Effect of Different Mineral Compound Fertilizer Blends on the Growth and Yield of Maize within the Birim Central Municipality, Eastern Region, Ghana

Kyei, Casimir (University of Cape Coast, 2021-04)

The Birim Central Municipality is a major maize growing area in the Eastern region of Ghana. Diverse mineral compound fertilizer blends are common in the Municipality and most of these mineral fertilizers are used in the ...
Ameliorating Compaction in a Ghanaian Coastal Savanna Acrisol with Compost

Wuaku, Sadata (University of Cape Coast, 2021-08)

Soil compaction has deletenous effects on crop production by preventing soil to realize its full productive potentials even if crop residue is applied. The study sought to evaluate the efficiency of using compost to ...
Influence of Land Use types on the Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon at Different Soil Depth in the University of Cape Coast Teaching and Research Farm

Abindaw, Thomas (University of Cape Coast, 2021-09)

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the principal component of soil organic matter and it is broadly considered as a central indicator of soil quality due to the numerous roles it plays in physical, biological and chemical processes ...
