About the Journal

The Journal of Agriculture, Science, and Technology (JAGST) is a peer-refereed bi-monthly publication first produced in 1997. It features research articles in Agriculture, Biotechnology, Forestry, Human and Veterinary Medicine, Engineering, Architecture, Information Technology, and Physical and Social Sciences. It also carries current scientific reports and, occasionally, reviews of publications with a scientific orientation.
The journal serves as an important tool in the mandate of the University’s Research, Production and Extension (RPE) Division to facilitate dissemination of research findings.
The goal of the Journal is to:

  • Provide a forum for the University staff and students, and researchers from the region and other parts of the world to participate in the discovery, transmission,
    preservation and enhancement of knowledge in various disciplinary areas.
  • Contribute towards the University’s goal of integrating teaching and research for effective application and preservation of knowledge and skills.
  • Provide a platform for sound academic discourse among researchers.
