    Abstract: The damage levels of the maize spotted stem borers (Chilo partellus Swinhoe) are estimated at 400,000 metric tons, which is equivalent to 13.5% of farmers' annual maize harvest accounting for US$80 million. Despite the economic importance of the pest, information on the incidence under long-term organic and conventional farming systems is lacking. ... Show More

    Abstract: This article proposed the modelling of the daily COVID-19 confirmed cases in Nigeria using a Self-Exciting Threshold Autoregressive (SETAR) model. Coronavirus also known as Covid-19 first appeared in Wuhan in December 2019 and quickly spread across the world and became a major phenomenon confronting humanity today. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, s... Show More
