FUTURE PROJECTS
Preliminary identification of bacterial species contaminating okra fruits in some selected markets in Owo, Nigeria.
Despite the significance of Okra cultivation in the society, the effective management of its post-harvest diseases poses a considerable challenge to plant pathologists. The study will inveestigate spoilage bacteria associated with Okra fruits during post-harvest storage. Okra fruits would be purchased from three (3) local markets (Ogwagbe, Areghona and Oba market) in Owo, Nigeria and examined for bacteria contamination using morphological (macro- and microscopic) identification. The highest-occurring bacterial genera would be determined. The frequency of occurrence of the bacteria would be a pointer to determining the post-harvest handling of Okra.
Applications Invited
The level of bacteria contamination in okra sold in some major markets in Owo metropolis.
