RESEARCH TRIAL 1
TITLE : ON-FARM EVALUATION OF TWO
DIFFERENT INSECTICIDES IN THE
CONTROL OF ARMYWORM (Spodoptera
spp.) ON MAIZE IN OGUN - STATE.
JUSTIFICATION• There has been wide spread reports of serious damage done by
armyworm (Spodoptera spp.) across Ogun State in 2016.
• It was observed during field visits that over 95% of maize planted inOgun State in the year 2016 were attacked by armyworm.
• This endemic situation in the state resulted in gross loss in yield andincome to farmers both on small scale and large scale enterprises.
• Over 1500ha of maize has been ravaged by armyworm outbreak,that is over N360m lost by the state farmers
The issue of armyworm outbreak report is also coming up in the year2017, in the Fadama plots in Yewa South and Ipokia Localgovernments area of the State.
• The farmers embark on various methods ofcontrol ranging from use of wood ash to someinsecticides/herbicide.
• The issue was reported to IAR &T and somechemicals had been recommended by IAR &Tin control of the caterpillars of this moth.
• Source - IAR&T
• Status - New
• Duration - 4 months

TITLE : COST BENEFIT
ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT
METHODS OF PLANTING
RICE.
Justification
• Rice is one of the most important food crops inthe world.
• Rice has become one of the main staple foodin Nigeria.
• Uses of rice are numerous, Rice hulls are usedas roughages for cattle feed, chicken litter e.t.c.
• Rice straw is fed to livestock, for
manufacture of strawboard hats & hatching
• Industrial uses of rice include manufacture of
wine and spirits, cosmetics and textile.
• About 25% of farmers in the state are into
rice production.
Justification
• The farmers often incur higher cost of
production as a result of the method of
planting adopted.
• The most common method of planting by
farmers in the state is broadcasting which
wastes much seed and increases the cost of
production.
Justification
• Different methods of planting rice hadbeen developed, in which less quantity ofrice seeds are being used.
• There is need to determine the cost benefitanalysis of some improved methods ofplanting rice compared with the farmer’spractice of broadcasting.
Justification

2017 ON-FARM ADAPTIVE RESEARCH TRIAL
PROPOSAL
TITLE: The efficacy of water Probiotics solution
(Cleansing solution) with routine water change on
the performance of Clarias gariepinus cultured in
concrete tanks in Ogun State.
• OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy andeconomic benefits (if any) of the use ofOrganic Water Probiotics solution over theconventional routine water change in waterquality maintenance practice.
• Status: New
• Source: FUNAAB (Dept of Agriculture &Fisheries).
JUSTIFICATION
• Over 55% of fish farmers in Ogun - State makeuse of concrete/ block walled fish tankenclosures as their holding structures to cultureClarias gariepinus under confinement.
• Poor water quality maintenance in concreteenclosures has made cultured Clarias gariepinussusceptible to stress and diseases.
• It is a known fact that the high fish mortalityusually recorded under fish-tank-culture systemcan be partly attributed to poor water qualitypractices.
• Presently, fisheries extension intervention on poor water quality practice is that fish farmers change stale, polluted water on a regular basis.
• This recommendation has been met with challenges of inadequate water availability (at critical periods), increase in over-head cost, depreciation in capital assets (water pump) and more importantly undue stress factor to fish life in tank enclosures.
JUSTIFICATION
• Consequent upon these challenges, organicwater cleansing solution identified as a veritablesolution to some of the aforementionedchallenges.
• This organic solution is a biological water qualitymaintenance practice that is said to have theseattributes.
• It causes fewer traumas to fish culture comparedto frequent water change or water thatencourages stress.
JUSTIFICATION
• Being a biological water quality control practice, use of antibioticsin fish culture is completely removed.
• Excess ammonia is easily fixed.
• It improves flora gut of fish thereby aiding in digestibility and feedsutilization.
• It boosts the immune system of the fish against bacteria diseases.
• It is environmentally friendly while dislodging the stale water.
• Thus, this trial aims at confirming or put to test the positiveattributes and probably identify any negative attributes in its use.
• N.B. – Water Probiotics Solution contains – Nitrosomonas, Nitrobacterand Bacillus bacteria as organic preparations.
JUSTIFICATION
MATERIALS AND METHOD• The trial will be conducted in fish tanks in all the
four Zones across the state.
• The tank dimension would be (3m x 3m x 1.2m).
• Each of the Zonal tank would be partitioned into
three compartments with block walled structured.
• Each tank serves as a replicate.
• Treatment 1: The impounded water would betreated with Water probiotics (an organic watercleansing solution) at the recommended rate of100ml per 1000 litres of water.
• Treatment 2: Impounded water would not betreated with water probiotics but would bechanged twice a week.
• Treatment 3: Impounded water would not betreated with water probiotics but would bechanged once weekly (farmer’s practice).
MATERIALS AND METHOD
• Each treatment will be provided with 40
Clarias gariepinus juveniles.
• A total of 120 Clarias gariepinus \ juveniles
will be needed per zonal tank and a total of
480 Clarias juveniles across the four zones.
3m
• 1m
3m
MATERIALS AND METHOD
• The tanks are to be prepared as per standardrecommendation (liming & fertilization).
• The same type of a registered floating fishfeeds are to be administered across the threetreatments.
• Fish juveniles (480 (total number of fish) are tobe sourced from a reputable fish hatchery(single source).
MATERIALS AND METHOD
• Weekly assessment of water quality parameters e.g. water transparency,water temperature, DO2, Ammonia level, PH, would be monitored andrecorded.
• Cost implication of water change on weekly basis is to be computed.
• Growth parameters and fish survival / mortality in the different treatmentsare to be monitored and recorded e.g. fish weight, feeds conversion, noof death recorded etc.
• These (growth parameters) are to be monthly assessed.
• Mean yield data collected would be subjected to Analysis of Variance andtreatment means compared at (P< 0.05).
• Economic analysis through partial budgeting of the trial will be done todetermine the efficacy and economics of the different treatments.
Parameters to be measured
• Replicates: 1 per zone, 4 in all
• Personnel: ADP and OFAR Team
