Isolation and Identification of Bacteria Associated with Pre and Post Processing of Groundnut Cake in Sokoto State, North-Western Nigeria

Abstract

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is rich in quality protein, reduce malnutrition. This study was conducted to evaluate agro morphological traits in 5x5 simple lattice designs at Holeta Agricultural Research Center during 2018/2019 by using 25 white genotypes. This study was conducted to assess agro-morphological traits with grain yield and to evaluate the genotype correlation coefficient of grain yield to direct and indirect effects through path analysis. Numbers of pod per plant, seed weight per plant and number of seeds per pod at genotypic and phenotypic levels, days to first flowering at the genotypic level and plant height and stem thickness at phenotypic level showed positive and significant correlation with grain yield. While and number of branches per plant, numbers of seed per plant, pod length and pod thickness had negative significant correlation with yield at both levels. These traits had also high to moderate positive indirect effects on grain yield via each other and through other traits at the genotypic level, which suggested simultaneous selection for grain yield. Therefore, the results showed the presence of correlation, direct and indirect effects of traits on grain yield among white lupin was important to select white lupin depend on its agro- morphological and nutritional composition for improvement.
