A preliminary field evaluation trial was conducted to determine the grain yield performance of fourteen sesame varieties (Check (E-8), recently released (NCRIBEN-02M, NCRIBEN – 03L and PBTil), available with farmers (ABBS, 530-6-1 and Domu) and recently acquired (Cameroon white, CIANO-16, Adakuavari, CIANO-27, Pachequena, Kwandere and Eva) during the late growing season of 2010 in a forest-savanna transition zone of Nigeria under organic system. All the fourteen test varieties produced grain yields that ranged between 548.8 to 1651.4 kg/ha. Variety 530-6-1 was the most outstanding out of the fourteen varieties for weight of capsules and seeds per plant, harvest index and grain yield. Pachequena, CIANO-27, CIANO-16 and Adakuavari also demonstrated high yield potential among the newly acquired varieties under organic system. Sesame grain yield was significantly (p

Abstract Pot experiments were carried out during 2010 and 2011 planting seasons in order to assess the effect of application of organic manure, bio-fertilizer and yeast on the growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.), variety TGx 536-02D grown in nematode naturally infested soil. TGx 536-02D is a known nematode susceptible soybean variety. <strong>The</strong> treatments were control, bio-fertilizer (Trichoderma hazianum T22 isolate), cured poultry manure, palm wine yeast, bio- fertilizer + cured poultry manure, bio-fertilizer + yeast, cured poultry manure + yeast and bio-fertilizer + cured poultry manure + yeast. Control experiment did not receive poultry manure, yeast or bio-fertilizer. In each trial, there were 8 treatments replicated 5 times fitted into complete randomized design. <strong>The</strong> results indicated that application of bio-fertilizer, cured poultry manure, palm wine yeast, bio- fertilizer + cured poultry manure, bio-fertilizer + yeast, cured poultry manure + yeast and bio-fertilizer + cured poultry manure + yeast significantly (p
