EFFECT OF DIFFERENT RATES OF CATTLE DUNG ON SOIL PHYSIOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND GROWTH AND YIELD OF CUCUMBER (CUCUMIS SATIVUS)
ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different rates of cattle dung on soil physiochemical properties and growth and yield of cucumber during the 2010 planting season. The experiment was a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five rates (0kg/ha, 50kg/ha, 100kg/ha, 150kg/ha, 200kg/ha) of cattle dung replicated four time. The parameters measured were physiochemical properties of the soil which includes bulk density, total porosity, moisture content, exchangeable base, total nitrogen, available P, soil PH, CEC etc, plant height, fruit yield, leaf area index. The result showed that cattle dung at 200kg/ha had higher effect at P< 0.05 in plant height at 4, 8, 12 weeks after planting (WAP), also in fruit yield of the plant followed by cattle dung at 150kg/plot, and 0kg/plot, having the least value. In leaf area index at 4 WAP, there is no significant difference among the treatment means. This might be that e the seed has not been established well in the soil, but at 8 and 12 there a significant difference among treatment.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Cucumber (Cucumbis sativus), a member, of cucurbitaceous family, is native of Asia, and Africa, where it has been consumed for 3,000 years, may be one of our oldest crop .Cucumber was being grown in North Africa, Italy, Greece, Asia minor and other areas at the beginning of the Christian era USDA (1999).Today Cucumber is grown all over the world for pickling, (pickles) and fresh market (slicers)
Cucumber is a creeping tender warm season vegetable plant that produces well when grown under proper management. It is a creeping vine that roots in the ground and grown up trellising on other supporting frames, wrapping around ribbing with thin, spiraling tendrils widders and price, (1985) the plant has large leaves that forms canopy over the fruit. The fruit roughly cylindrical elongated with tapered ends legard (2000) and may be as large as 60cm long and 10cm diameter. Fruits are rich in vitamin A and calcium, calories, small amount of beta carotene which is found in the green peel, dietary fiber carbohydrate, some trace of iron and 95% water which call for its lowest nutritional content in the cucurbit family Firbank, (1990).
Cucumber grown to be eating fresh (Slickers) and those intended for pickling (pickers) are similar Cucumber are mainly eaten in the unripe green form. The ripe yellow form normally becomes too bitter and sours Schapendonk and Brower, (1994)
Cucumber is a thermophillic horticultural crop usually cultivated in field during the late rainy season USDA ( 2005).In tropical regions however, yields of monoecious hybrids increase in the hamattan season when favorable condition such as photo-period, higher light energy and lower night temperature enhance the production of female flowers Filgneria, (2000).Having enclosed seeds and developing from a flower, Cucumber are scientifically classified as fruit much like tomatoes and squash, however, their sour bitter flavor contribute to it being perceived prepared and eaten as vegetables JU (1997).It does well in a loose sandy-loam soil but can also strive in any well drained soil USDA,( 2005)
Cucumber belongs to the kingdom plantae, division magnoliophyta, class magnoliopsida; order cubitales family curcubitacea, genius cucumis and species cucumis sativus.
Cucumber are available in dozens of varieties which includes for slicing straight and Poinsett, Dasher 11, salad, country fair, pioneer while that of slicing cucumber includes Dasher 11, Bush crop, cobra, Indio Pamela, Benett, (2001).The use of resistant varieties can be used to avoid or prevent disease in cucumber plant .The flesh of cucumber is primary composed of water but also contains ascorbic acid and caffeic Appel,(1997).Both of which helps in smoothing skin irritation and reduce swelling. Cucumber hard skin is also rich in fibre and contains a variety of beneficial mineral like silica potassium and magnesium silica in cucumber is an essential component of healthy connective tissue which includes muscle, tendons, ligaments cartilage and bone. Cucumber juice is a source of silica which improves complexion and health of the skin; it also reduces high blood pressure to normal in human system Urbanext (2006).
More so, cucumber have moderately deep root like many of the other cucurbits, the cucumber has a long taproot as well as a shallow fibrous root system, but it does not seem to be as extensive as others in this family Wood, Rebecca (1988).The deep taproot will grown 36-48 inches (3-4feet) but will not branch out much below 2 feet deep. Most of the fibrous feeders are in the top 2 feet and the active roots are concentrated between 8-12 inches Levin (1999). Most of the absorption of minerals lakes place in the 6-12 inches range. The taproot produces many rootlets that branch off about 1-13 inches from it. As the cucumber slows down in producing fruit, the deeper root being to senesce cucumber have vinning stems which can be trained on trellises to save space and improve yield and fruit quality Sea borna (2002).the leave of cucumber produces bristly hairs on them. They are simple, alternate and lobed the leaves are triangular, palmate and located at the base of the mains exits. The petioles are long (5-4inch) and leavesss
Are usually, 4-8 inch long Firbank, and Air (1990). Perfect flowers are rare in cucumber, many old cultivars are monoecious that is produce separate male and female flower on the same plant. Most of the current cultivars are gynoecious which have mostly female flowers (only about 5% are male). The production of male flowers in these plants is promoted by long days and high temperatures. Male flowering can be stimulated by the application of gibberellins’, which alters the plant auxin level. Cucumber produces female flowers during short days with cool temperatures and low light Ngouajio and Mennaily (2005).Cucumber seeds do not germinate in soil where directly temperature are below 52%. The seeds are directly plant into the field. Seeds of slicing cucumber are drilled in row the optimum daily temperature ranges from 65-75%. Cooler temperatures slow down growth and slow growing seeding are susceptible to flea beetles which chew on the leaf and reduce leaf area mass. Young plants are susceptible to cool weather, cold soil and wind after germination for maximum production of cucumber. Warm temperatures, irrigation weed control, and disease and insect management are required. Cucumber is a quick growing crop that produces a lot of succulent growth. The crop must be supplied with plenty of moisture for it vigorous growth, cucumber plant especially need water during blossoming and fruiting any stress during blossoming could cause the blossoming to abort. The major problem cucumber face in the field includes problem of water irrigation, problem of pest and disease which hinder growing of cucumber in Nigeria. Many of the cucumber grown are limited to the Northern part of the country due to the warm and dry weather.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Garri: (yellow or white) a roasted gramular hydroscopic starchy food product, produced from cassava (manihot esculent a Grantz) is the most popular from in which cassava is consumed in the West Africa sub region. It is consumed by several million of people regardless of ethnicity and socio economic class, making it the commonest meal amongst the rich and poor. Garri available in the market can be consumed directly without further processing in the dry form with peanut, coconut, smoked fish soaked in water (some times with milk and beverage) of processed minimally using boiled water to form stiff paste popularly called “eba” and eaten with various types of African soups.
Cassava for garri production is harvested manually in the farm with the aid of a cutlass, hoe and flat iron sheet (digger) which occasionally inflicts various degrees of injuries on the root tubers. After harvesting, the root tubers are halved to the market where they are heaped in 20s40s, 50s or for sales under humid and warm topical conditions. These practices predispose the root tubers to contamination and infestation by various groups of microorganisms (especially moulds) mites and insects which potentiate biodeteraration.
Following processing, garri is spread on the bare floor or on a mat to allow cooling before final sieving and packaging for marketing in the open market; garri is displayed in open basins, bowls, bags and mats. These practices potentiate contamination by various group of micro organism and may predispose public health harzard. Various groups of moulds have reports to be associated with garri during storage and distribution. Moulds if present can grow and affect the nutritional and sensory properties of garri and species of oxygenic may produce my cotoscias Aflatoscia B,B2 G1 G2 are the they are produced by ubiqution fungal general and neurological association of these toxurs reinforce the need for continuo’s and regular search for their presence in foods
Numerous processing methods have been devised including gaited roots, fermenting peeled followed by roasting to reduce the toxicity and at the sine time convent the highly perishes fresh root of cassava into stable products. Garri is processed by fermenting peel and grated roots followed by dewatering sieving and frying. Frying the garri at high temperature which would have killed all micro- organisms but after preparation how eve other fungal spoilage. Garri is the most popular for in when of cyanogens (a colourless, poisons’, flammable, water- soluble gars (2N2having an almandine) odour used chiefly in Organ synthesis)
In the cassava variety used for processing garri in Nigeria. When not properly processed makes the products unsafe for consumption the processing of cassava into garri is one of the major cottage industries in umunya.
Garri, which is the a by- product of cassava is rich in carbohydrate, manly starch and is a major source of energy. With the exception of sugar cane garri is the highest source of carbohydrate.
The approximate and physical properties of garri is a function of the cassavas variety, age of cassava time, of harvesting, processing methods, packaging method, storage conditional and duration of storage (oduroetal, 2000, chuzel and zakhua 1991).
Adejumo and Rayi (2010) carried out an appraisal of garri packaging method in Ogbomosho, Nigeria. The objectives of the work were to appraise the various packaging material used for garri and to suggest, safe, and affordable packaging material for garri packaging. This is with a view of reducing losses during storage and for proper planning of marketing strategies in terms of appropriated product packaging the result should that the packaging material used for garri packaging. The result showed that the packaging material used for garri packaging are all improvised material not specifically made for garri packaging. The loss of garri during storage was assessed or the type of storage material used. Storage condition, star age duration and the were based on change in colour, odour and taste which was a result of poor keeping quality due to the moisture uptake during merchandising. The effect of moisture content and storage conditions on the storability of garri was investigated by Amadi and Adebola (2008) yellow & white garri sample were obtained and storage under the same conditions using polythene bags, sack bags and plastic buckets

AGRICULTURE MECHANIZATION IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Survey was undertake to assess the Anambra state Tractor Hiring Company. The study adopted the use of a questionnaire and interview schedules, discussion and personal observation for primary data collection. The unit had a total of 15 tractors 10 Disc ploughs, 6 Disc harrow 6 Discridgers, and 3 trailers, all in good working conditionexcept for one non functional tractor (scrap). The unit was poorly equipped with fairly adequate shed and was under staffed with a maintenanceculture that is service driven. The unit had very few beneficiaries due to high cost of hiring, limited number of availabletractors to hire, delay in service delivery, delays in acquiring spare parts needed for repairs, in accessibility due to remoteness of farms and size of farm holdings, poor land clearing, unskilled tractor operators and administrative bottlenecks. It is recommended that an alternative shed be provide and the workshop should be properly equipped and it structure properly renovated, and in there should be adequate funding to it by the state government in order to help the unit serve the state better.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the study
Agriculture was and until the discovery of oil and oil boom of the 1970s, the mainstay of the Nigeria Economy cash crops such as cocoa, cotton, groundnut and livestock products contributed more than 70% of total exports. It provided employment for over 60% of the populaces most of whom were resident in the remote and rural areas of the country (source). Various food crops were also cultivated in sufficient quantities to meet the demand of the teeming population and Nigeria was one of the food self-sufficient countries of the world.(Ado, 2005; Anen, 2005; Balogun, 2001; Ikpi and Ikpi, 1998; Moorhead, 2005; Nwuba, 2009, Opafa 2006).
The discovery and exploration of crude oil as a more lucrative income earner for the country was the first major setback to the agricultural sector. Also the introduction of the nationwide Universal Primary Education (UPE) in the 1970s and free education in the country in 1979, further reduced farm labour are youths withdrew from the farms to go school. It becomes in caressingly difficult to feed the teeming masses and the country resorted to importing food to supplement the one grown at home. It was considered necessary to reserve the trend and the three approaches adopted were the use of improved and high yielding varieties of crops, use of agro-chemicals and expansion of hectares under cultivation by use of alternative source of power. These lead to the use of tractors as an alternative source of power since animal power wasn’t applicable in most regions of the nation due to tse- tse fly attacks, and also an encouragement youths who have been discouraged from farming operations due to its drudgery. But due to the high cost of acquiring these tractors, hiring schemes were set up at different levels of government to enable farmers increase their agricultural productivity. (Anon, 1990; Nwuba, 1986;Onwualu et al, 2006; Anazodo et al, 1987; Hamidu and Simmon, 1999)
Thus, tractors – hiring scheme was adopted by almostall the states in Nigerian, aimed at helping the small scale farmers increase their farms sizes. Hamidu and Simon (1999) reported that even though the establishment of tractor hiring service were expected to make farmers have access to tractors and implements for various farm operations, this opportunity has not been fully exploited by farmers because of irregular and untimely availability of these tractors due to frequent” breakdown, lack of spare parts and bureaucratic bottleneck
1.2. Significance of the study
The work when adopted will provide data and information which will be useful in the following ways-
1. To provide knowledge on the level of mechanization available from the unit in the state.
2. To provide knowledge of the technical capacity of the unit in repairs and maintenance of equipment.
3. To provide solution to improve the quantity and quality of service at the unit.
1.4Objectives of the study
1. To asses how the unit activities are coordinated in state, federal and private owned ministries.
2. To determine the equipment inventory and conditions in the units adequacy of the units’ personnel shed and workshop facilities.
3. To assess the nature of services rendered and their charges.
4. To asses the maintenance culture of the unit and common problems faced during maintenance, and proffer solutions.
5. To observe the impact of the unit on the farming community.
SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of this work covers the assessment on the technical and operational capacity of south east states tractor hiring company.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF REVERSE OSMOSIS DESALINATION OF WATER FOR AGRICULTURAL IRRIGATION APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT
The combination of an ever-increasing population and a diminishing usable water supply threatens the sustainability of humanity’s existence on a global scale, especially in California, where agriculture is so integral to the state’s economy. Due to widespread recognition of this problem, there has been a growing trend in the development of alternative water resources, one of which involves the desalination of salt or brackish waters. Several different desalination technologies exist, including microfiltration, multi-stage flash, and multi-effect distillation.
This senior project investigates the economic viability of implementing reverse osmosis desalination for treatment of agricultural wastewater or other unusable water sources. These water sources might include brackish groundwater or municipal wastewater. The capital and operational costs of implementing such technology were compared to the delivery prices for existing water sources in the San Joaquin and Coachella Valleys and along the Central California Coast. Along with the costs associated with each option, the environmental, social, and political concerns were considered, as well.
Field visits and personal interviews of current desalination plant operators, in conjunction with desalination pricing, were compared to the current cost of irrigation water delivery in the San Joaquin and Coachella Valleys, as well as the Central California Coast. The results showed that the cost of desalination, while significantly less expensive in the past few years, was still too great to offset the relatively low prices of irrigation water delivery. The concern of brine disposal in the Central and Southern California Valleys also poses environmental problems. Although desalination is not currently economically viable, it seems only a matter of time before either the cost of water becomes too great or the cost of desalination becomes affordable.

INTRODUCTION
California’s current population of 35 million is expected to increase by approximately 12 million by the year 2030, which will impact the state’s water demands significantly (Karajeh et al 2005). Agricultural irrigation represents a considerable portion of fresh water demand, with an estimated 65% global water demand and nearly 90% of the water demand in California (Abu-Zeid 1998). This creates a challenge for water supply reliability and availability as technologies shift from the construction of new dams, reservoirs and conveyance canals, and move toward water conservation and reclamation. As a result, saltwater and brackish water reverse osmosis desalination is becoming of greater interest, largely because technological advances have caused the cost of membranes to decrease dramatically (Karajeh et al 2005). In the same time that desalination costs have been declining, the costs of surface and groundwater have been increasing, making desalination a more competitive source of water for both municipal and agricultural purposes (Beltrán and Koo-Oshima 2004).
A study by Sorour et al (1992) investigated various desalination technologies for agricultural drainage water applications. The study ranked reverse osmosis (RO) desalination as the highest performing desalting technology, when compared to ion exchange, electrodialysis and vapor compression. This high ranking was due to lower desalting costs, higher tolerance to changes in salinity, and ability to remove dissolved organics. Per the results of the study, reverse osmosis desalination became the recommended technology for agricultural drainage desalination (Sorour et al. 1992).
The process of reverse osmosis is, simply stated, the removal of contaminants by pushing water through a membrane with the use of hydraulic pressure (Solt and Shirley 1991). RO membranes are generally nonporous and will pass water, while retaining most solutes, including ions. The separation of salts and other minerals from the water is achieved by reversing the natural osmotic flow with the application of pressure to the side of the concentrated solution as illustrated in Figure 1 (Vigneswaran et al 2004).
Figure 1. Reverse osmosis principle (Fritzmann et al. 2007).
2
Reverse osmosis is one of many processes—including electrodialysis, ultra-filtration, micro-filtration, etc.—that can be used to purify water for a wide number of applications. Compared to other processes, RO has proven to be much more successful for water purification, and has thus become the most widely used desalting process for both seawater and brackish water sources. Depending on the specific membrane used, RO is able to remove 90-98% of all dissolved salts, organic molecules, microorganisms, colloids and suspended matter (Solt and Shirley 1991), and is capable of rejecting particles with diameters as small as 0.0001 µm (Taylor and Jacobs 1996).
Reverse osmosis membranes are engineered into a single operation unit, referred to as a module, of which there are several different types. Four major types of modules are produced: plate and frame, spiral wound, tubular and hollow fiber (see Figure 2). Plate and frame modules are
Figure 2. Schematic representation of four membrane modules: (a) plate and frame; (b) spiral module; (c) tubular module; (d) hollow fiber (Aptel and Buckley 1996).

composed of stacked flat-sheet membranes and support plates. These modules are designed to work similar to a filter press as they circulate feed water between the membranes of two contiguous plates. Spiral wound modules consist of two flat-sheet membranes enveloped and enclosing a flexible porous sheet, or permeate collector. The open end of the envelope is connected and rolled spirally around a perforated tube, where permeate is collected. One of the simplest reverse osmosis configurations is the tubular module, where a membrane is cast on the inside wall of a porous support tube. Permeate flows through the membrane and out of the module while the concentrate is flushed through the tubes. Finally, hollow fiber modules typically consist of bundles of several thousand (or up to several million) fibers through which feed water is conveyed (Aptel and Buckley 1996).
The transfer of water over the membrane in a reverse osmosis module is governed by Fick’s First Law of Diffusion (Equation 1), which provides that the diffusion flux across a membrane is
directly proportional to the concentration gradient, or (Vigneswaran et al 2004).

Where:
J = the diffusion flux
(amount of substance per unit area per unit time)
Di= the diffusion coefficient or diffusivity
φ = concentration
x = length
It can be seen that an increase in the concentration gradient would result in a decrease in the flow across a membrane (Vigneswaran et al 2004). Additionally, the pressure required by the RO system must be great enough to first overcome the osmotic potential pressure (caused by the difference in concentrations of the solutions on either side of the RO membrane), and then to drive the flow of feed water through the membrane. From this, it can be determined that the higher the concentration of the solution to be purified, the greater the osmotic potential; and the greater the osmotic pressure, the higher the pressure requirement will be. This relationship explains why the pressure requirement is lower for brackish waters, which have lower solute concentrations than seawater (Solt and Shirley 1991).
Fick’s First Law of Diffusion (Equation 1) also provides that the diffusion flux across a membrane is directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane. Therefore as the area of the membrane decreases, the diffusion across a membrane will decrease. By increasing the surface area of the filtration membrane, the diffusion across the membrane can be maximized (Vigneswaran et al 2004). The spiral wound RO modules (Figure 3) have become common due to their expansive surface area which not only increases the diffusion across the membrane, but also provides easier access for cleaning agents (Taylor and Jacobs 1996).
