Purpose:To evaluate cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var botrytis) field performance in response to season, organic waste types, and rates; a cultivar (ATRIA 153F1) was grown for two years (2019 and 2020) under two different seasons (Rainy and Dry). This is to ascertain the effective season, type, and rate of organic waste for the promotion of sustainable […]
Purpose: The study investigated how selected tomato genotypes performed with combined applications of cocoa pod (CP) + poultry manure (PM), kola nut pod (KP) + poultry manure (PM), and NPK fertilizer, focusing on fruit yield, mineral content, and vitamin composition. Method: The trial was carried out at Landmark University Teaching and Research Farm, Omuaran, Nigeria […]
Purpose: Soil nutrient depletion is an endemic factor that constitutes one of the greatest limitations to crop production in the tropics. Identifying high yielding kale varieties that thrive best with the most cost-effective fertilizer type can help meet the nutritional deficits of most families in Africa in line with WHO recommendations. The propose of this […]
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the efect of time interval between sowing and amendment with non-digested and digested poultry manure and their combinations with urea on the germination of three wheat cultivars (Slambo, Acsad, and Karim) in the desert soil. Methods The cultivars were sown on four diferent dates, i.e. directly, 10, 20 and […]
Aim This study investigated the effects of combined organic poultry manure (PM) and inorganic foliar fertilizer (FF) on growth and yield of okra (Abelmuschus esculenthus L. Moench). Materials and methods Field trials were carried out at Shao and Teaching and Research Farm of Kwara State University, Malete, respectively, in 2013 and 2014 cropping seasons. The […]
Purpose This research work described the effect of organic waste (poultry manure) on soil cumulative infiltration rate (CIR), soil organic matter (SOM), and maize performance on two contrasting alfisols of southwestern Nigeria. Method Six treatments of poultry manure were applied in split at 0 Mg/ha, 2 Mg/ha, 4 Mg/ha, 6 Mg/ha, 8 Mg/ha, and 10 Mg/ha, in replicate under a completely […]
