ABSTRACT: Green-house experiment was conducted on zea mays planted on sandy soil to determine the toxic levels of Zn2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ in the leaf of seedling of the plant. This was achieved by applying 250cm3 of 10PPM, 50PPM, 100PPM, 150PPM, 200PPM and 500PPM of Zn2+, Mn2+, Cu2+ and Fe2+ at intervals until toxic level was indicated through change in colour of the leaves. Diethylene triaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) was used to extract the micronutrients in the soil and the concentrations were evaluated using, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). The concentrations of the micronutrients in leaves were also determined using AAS. The concentration of the micronutrients in leaves of the plant in the soil at toxic levels were 250PPM- 260PPM Zn2+, 37.24PPM-55.90PPM of Cu2+, 290-320 of Mn2+420-700 of Fe2+. The results were statistically treated using t-test to determine the significant difference in the uptake of the micronutrients byZea mays in sandy soil.

ABSTRACT: The research aimed to measure the importance of agricultural extension planning process stages with applied components for program and activates which provided by ministry of agriculture , which comes part within the scope of its duties at the level of the center &departments to serve and development goals of local committees in different regions of rural agriculture in Iraqi , which include directorates now ( state boards& companies before ) and its departments in governorates, to services and guidance provided recommendation absorbed and to increased contribution to dissemination &diffusion propaganda and audience for farmers to adoption modern agriculture technologies transfer. To achieve the aim of research, as scale was prepared to estimate measure for importance extension programs and activities forapplied planning process, including 6 stages consisted 30 item, which are: I the general from work to planning :2 external environments :3 organizational structure of extension planning process :4 planning mechanism :5 monitoring

ABSTRACT: Reports of various authors indicate that there is a decline in the number of the Yoruba ecotype indigenous chicken, found in southwestern Nigeria. The geographical distribution of these strains of chicken is poorly documented thereby hampering the implementation of any effective management and sustainable conservation program. Hence this study conducted an open survey among breeders of local fowls in Ile-Ife, a traditional town in southwestern Nigeria to identify some of the attractive characteristics of these chickens that can be included in breeding programs designed for biodiversity conservation of indigenous chickens. Ile-Ife, located on latitudes 7.52°N – 7.57°N and longitudes 4.50°E – 4.57°E, was classified into three zones of core, transition and sub-urban using high resolution.........

ABSTRACT: Bluetongue is a viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants transmitted via the biting flies. The agent is in the Orbivirus genus of the Reoviridae family and has 24 known serotypes. The disease is most common during the summer months and is more severe during humid and rainy times. The aim of this study is to determine the presence of bluetongue infection serologically in cattle in Siirt province, Turkey, and to get information about its prevalence in the region. The material of the study consisted of a total of 279 cattle reared in different localities of Siirt. For laboratory analysis, 5 ml blood samples were taken from jugular vein of cattle and put into non-anticoagulant tubes..........
