Sampling techniques (purposive, and multistage) were used to acquire information from 120 respondents with the aid of structured questionnaire and oral interview. Data generated were analyzed using frequency count, percentages, mean score and multiple regressions techniques. The result obtained showed that most respondents were males, had mean household size of 7 persons and were married. The result revealed respondents were engaged in multiple activities with farming being the most dominant. The respondents agreed that logging and grazing negatively impacted forest conservation in IUFR. The study also revealed that bribe/threat and poaching were recorded as the most serious clash in forest conservation during the pandemic era with mean scores of 3.24 and 3.32 respectively. It is recommended that multiple use forest management be adopted by forest dwellers of IUFR to allow for sustainable socioeconomic activities and minimize conflicts in forest resources management.

The experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of the Delta State University, Asaba Campus, Nigeria. The results revealed a highly significant (P = 0.001) effect of seed fermentation on germination percentage, plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and dry weight. Germination percentage ranged from 0% to 50% in 2-4 weeks to 0 week fermentation. Fruit fermentation is not recommended and Irvingia wombolu seeds should mechanical depulped and sown immediately they are collected.

Although the plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, plant girth and the dry biomass of the test plants were signifi cantly P≥0.05 aff ected at higher levels of oil treatments 10% and 15%, the 1 % and 5 % levels of contamination did not signifi cantly P≤0.05 diff er from the seedlings planted in the uncontaminated soils. T. grandis and G. arborea as shown in this study could be good species for phyto- remediation of crude oil contaminated habitats due to oil exploration and exploitation especially at low concentrations. Key words Tectona grandis, Gmelina arborea, seedlings, phyto-remediation, crude oil

The control was dipped in ethanol only and arranged in a randomized complete block design and replicated four times. The results showed a significant effect of pawpaw seed extracts on rooting percentage (P = 0.02), with values ranging from 14.8 % to 26.7 % in the control and mature pawpaw seed extracts.. Arising from the findings of this study, it is concluded that I. wombolu has the potentials for regeneration by vegetative means using cheap and available pawpaw seed extracts as rooting hormones to induce rooting in a non mist propagation system.
