Current research activities:
  1. Use of phyto-extracts and microbial bioagents to control some foliar and stalk rot Pathogens of maize (Zea mays).
  2. Studies on maize streak diseases in Southwest, Nigeria towards the development of its control strategies
  3. The use of entomopathogens in the control of fall armyworm of maize
  4. Integrated management of Fall armyworm of maize in Southwest Nigeria
  5. Efficacy of selected synthetic fungicides and the best time of application in the control of foliar diseases of maize
Technological achievement:
  1. Discovery of a number of bioagents (Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma pseudokoningii) and plant extracts (tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum; castor plant, Ricinus communis; Moringa oleifera Lam; Tithonia diversifolia; Vernonia amygdalina and Annona muricata) that are effective in inhibiting the growth of pathogens causing plant diseases such as anthracnose disease of cowpea; leafspot, ear rot and stalk rot diseases of maize.
  2.   Established the use of Arbuscular mycorrhiza for controlling diseases of Amaranthus spp, maize and cowpea. Likewise, prevention of mycotoxin contamination to appropriately store crop seeds of kenaf and maize was established by using eco-friendly control strategies.
