ABSTRACT: Food insecurity and hunger share much in common as they simultaneously affect the same persons. A food secured household has available enough culturally acceptable, nutritious food to subdue hunger and meet every of her dietary need. A food insecure household lives in lack of the culturally acceptable, nutritious foods and lack easy access to such foods and lives with hunger and is unable to meet her dietary needs over time. Hunger is a subjective feeling.......

ABSTRACT: The study assessed the influence of formulated organo-mineral fertilizers on soil physico-chemical properties and okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) productivity for two years in Abraka, Delta State. Six treatments - control (T1), NPK15:15:15 (T2), compost+NPK (T3), compost+N (T4), compost+PK (T5) and sole compost (T6) were applied. Clemson spineless okra variety was used to test the effectiveness of the fertilizers. Sawdust, wood shavings, rice bran, poultry droppings, pig dung and cattle dung were used to prepare compost which was used to formulate fertilizers at a ratio of 4:1 (compost: mineral fertilizer). NPK15:15:15 applied at the rate of 250kg/ha, organo-mineral.......
Keywords: Assessing, influence, organomineral fertilizers, soil properties and okra productivity.
