PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT:
 Development of environmentally friendly measures, most especially in the area of
the application of plant extracts and organic wastes in the control of nematode pests
of economically important crops. I have found some plant extracts and organic waste
materials that are as effective as synthetic nematicide, and could be used as
alternative control measure. I found that plant extracts and organic waste materials
are more bio-degradable, available at the time of use and environment friendly when
compared to synthetic nematicides.
 I conducted Pharmacognostic studies on some plant extracts and organic waste
materials, and found out that plant extracts and organic waste materials contain
certain substances (flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, saponins and sterols) which are
not lethal to human beings, fish and livestock, and do not cause environmental
pollution, but could be effectively exploited in the control of nematode pests of
economic food crops.
 Development and formulation of organic pesticides (bio-nematicides) which
have been effectively used in the control of nematode diseases of agricultural crops
to supplement/replace the existing synthetic pesticides.
 I have conducted many researches leading to the production of “safe to eat food
crops”. At the moment, I have developed biological control measures with
Trichoderma species for the control of pathogenic organisms on agricultural crops.
 I have developed different types of compost, which had been effectively used as soilinhabiting nematode control as well as to augment soil nutrient
 I was involved in the establishment of the organic programme of LAUTECH
Agricultural Services Limited, which was pursed up to the level of certification. This
14
certification brought LAUTECH to the global limelight as the first University in
Africa to receive organic agriculture certification for its field crops (Cashew, Ginger,
Turmeric and Lemon grass)
