“…These may be traced to availability of nutrient in the soil for assimilate production towards growth and development as well as the genetic makeup of the variety that usually produced more stem branch. This was supported by Babalola et al, [18] and Opeke, [19] that C acuminata are more vigorous than C. nitida [20].…”

Responses of Cola nitida and Cola acuminata to NPK and Super-gro fertilizers on seedling development, field establishment, and canopy characteristics were investigated in 2019-2020. Seedlings of the two Cola species were transplanted as a randomized complete block design with three replications on the field. Fertilizer treatments were imposed and the shoot and root growth parameters of the cola were monitored for two growing seasons. From the results, application of NPK fertilizer positively enhanced leaf and stem branch development as well as canopy features of the cola species compared to super-gro and the control treatments. Seedling height and leaf area development were higher significantly through application of super-gro compared with other treatments. Seedlings establishment were enhances by the application of super-gro over NPK and the control plots. Leaf production, stem branch number, stem girth development and leaf area development in Cola nitida were significantly higher than in Cola acuminata. Cola acuminata seedlings height were significantly higher compare to Cola nitida during the two growing seasons. The interactions of fertilizers and crop species reveals that NPK and super–gro application significantly influenced leaf production in C acuminata over C nitida. Stem branch production in C acuminata was better significantly under the treatment of NPK than that of C nitida under super-gro and the control plots. Canopy development was significantly higher under Cola acuminata treated with Super-gro followed by NPK with the control having the least. Canopy development in Cola nitida were significantly lower compared with Cola acuminata across the fertilizer treatments.

“…Another research was conducted on the postharvest quality of okra fruit under three storage conditions. Evaporative coolant structure was found to store okra effectively for 2 weeks [43]. The physicochemical changes and shelf life of guava as influenced by postharvest condition were observed, refrigeration was observed to prolong shelf life for 16-28 days followed by evaporative coolant structure [44].…”

“…The evaporative coolant stored Cucumber fruit effectively for 2 weeks. Babatola [41] also investigated the effect of storage conditions on nutrient composition and quality of Capsicum frutescens under three storage conditions. Observations were made on colour, firmness, weight loss, disease incidence and pungency level of pepper fruit, it was observed that pepper fruits kept well for 21 days in the evaporative coolant structure at a temperature of 20-22°C.…”

“…Observations were made on colour, firmness, weight loss, disease incidence and pungency level of pepper fruit, it was observed that pepper fruits kept well for 21 days in the evaporative coolant structure at a temperature of 20-22°C. Babatola [42] further investigated the effect of NPK fertilizer levels on the growth, yield and storage of pepper on Capsicum annum. The result showed that fruits stored in the refrigerator stored best for 3 weeks, followed by evaporative coolant structure which stored for 2 weeks while fruits under the ambient deteriorate rapidly after 4 days.…”

After harvesting, fresh fruit’s quality cannot be improved but it can be maintained. Fruits should be harvested at the appropriate maturity stage and size. Harvesting of fruits at improper maturity stage reduces shelf-life. Time of harvest, method of harvest, tools used in harvesting also contribute to the wholesomeness of harvested fruits. Fruits are living organisms that continue their living processes after harvest; therefore, their handling directly affects freshness as well as optimum flavor. Maintaining cool temperatures, appropriate air combination to maintain the quality of fruits, producers, handlers, and retailers are to ensure that fruits going for processing, marketing, or into storage are at the best quality state. Indigenous handling refers to the native, age-long, cultural system of postharvest handling of horticultural crops. Postharvest handling comprises interconnected activities from harvest to sorting, grading, preservation, transportation, packaging, processing, marketing, and decision by the consumer to accept or reject the food. Improvement is the enhancement made on the traditional postharvest handling methods to reduce losses of agricultural produce by at least 5%. Various means have been developed over time to handle and preserve food and particularly fruits over ages of technology advancement from the Stone Age.

“…This supports the works of many authors who have discovered the merits of combining organic and mineral fertilizers -as organomineral fertilizers. Kang and Balasubramanian (1990) and Babatola et al (2002) recorded high yields of leafy vegetables following the application of organomineral fertilizers and suggested that high and sustained yield could be obtained with judicious and balanced NPK fertilizer combined with organic source of plant nutrients. Ipinmoroti et al (2002) Table 6.…”

Organomineral formulations are low input technology fertilizers, which combine the attributes of both organic and inorganic fertilizers. A completely randomized design (CRD) pot experiment was conducted in the screen house of the Department of Crop, Soil and Pest Management, of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, to evaluate the residual effects of neem Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Sapindales: Meliaceae) seed based fertilizer and NPK 20:10:10 on the growth, yield and nutritional quality of Basella alba L. (Caryophyllales: Basellaceae). Results showed that the plots previously treated with neem seed-based fertilizer especially at 150-300 kg/ha enhanced the growth, yield and nutritional quality of B. alba, and increased these parameter significantly (P < 0.05) compared to the NPK treated and the untreated soil samples. It was therefore concluded that the Neem seed based fertilizer can serve as a viable alternative to NPK chemical fertilizers especially in rotational cropping systems owing to its prolonged soil action.
