Food poisoning and environmental pollution are products of excessive chemical usage in Agriculture. In Nigeria, cocoa farmers apply fungicides frequently to control black pod disease (BPD), this practice is life threatening and lethal to the environment. The development of a warning system to detect BPD outbreak can help minimize excessive usage of fungicide by farmers. 8 models (MRM 1-MRM 8) were developed and 5 (MRM 1-MRM 5) selected for optimization and performance check. MRM 5 (ETAPOD) performed better than the other forecast models. ETAPOD had 100% performance rating for BPD prediction
A study to determine the fungal profile in leaves of both highland and lowland tea in Nigeria was performed. Healthy leaves were harvested from nineteen tea clones: T
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
