    Vol. 3 No. 1&2 (2015)

    This edition of the Journal of Researches in Agricultural Sciences is a reflection of two major changes that have taken place, since the last edition. First, three erstwhile universities in the state ( University of Ado-Ekiti, University of Education, Ikere-Ekiti and University of Science and Technology, Ifaki-Ekiti) which had agriculture in their programmes were merged into one –Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti. Second, the Board of Editors of the Journal published by the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences was re-constituted with the mandate to revive the Journal and ensure the regular publication of pre-determined volumes per year. Thus, the Journal had been re-packaged to accommodate the ever-expanding curriculum in agriculture and the activities of researchers in meeting the current challenges encountered in the drive for food and nutrition security. The articles in this edition have been blind peer-reviewed in line with the time-honoured tenets of international research journalism. It has become obvious that the desire to re-register the presence of the Journal in the academic community through online publication in response to the expansion in readership/referencing, subscription and submission of articles. The website being designed will offer the interested researchers the opportunity to visit the Journal online for needed information. This development would guarantee the regular publication of the Journal. The Editorial Board appreciates the concern of the Dean and Board of the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences on the need to revive the Journal. The efforts of all contributors who promptly attended to comments made during the review process and the reviewers who took the time to add value to the quality of the papers submitted for publication are appreciated. It is our desire to get better with each edition.

     

    Thank you.
