Institute for Agricultural Research ABU Zaria(IAR).

Join us in celebrating a monumental achievement as Professor B.D. Kashina and Team at the Department of Crop Protection announce the publication of a groundbreaking research paper in The Journal of Phytopharmacology! Led by Dr. Julius Bulus and co-authored by Adobe Joshua Kwanashie, Iliyasu Mohammed Utono, James Dama Habila, Sheikh Emmanuel Laykay Alao, Afiniki Bawa Zarafi, Lucius Joseph Bamaiyi, Ahmed Abubakar, and Boniface David Kashina, this paper explores the assessment of plant extracts on nematode management from indigenous flora—an essential step towards revolutionizing pest and disease management in agriculture.
This publication represents the culmination of tireless efforts and collaborative research by a dedicated committee from the Departments of Crop Protection, Pharmacognosy/Drug Development, and Chemistry. Supported by a prestigious TETFUND grant, this initiative has unlocked invaluable insights into sustainable pest management strategies, offering practical solutions for combating nematode infestations, fungal diseases, and insect pests in vegetable crops.
As the field evaluation continues to unfold, we commend the unwavering dedication and visionary leadership of Professor Kashina and his team. Their commitment to advancing sustainable agricultural solutions serves as a beacon of inspiration for us all.
