Multi location field trials were conducted during the 2019/2020 dry season at Teaching and Research Farm of Federal University Dutsin-Ma (Badole) 11058`N, 80 26`E and 475m above sea level and Kugado Fadama site (110 33 N, 80 23 E and 481m above Sea level). Treatments consisted of three varieties of groundnut (SAMNUT 24, SAMNUT 25 and SAMNUT 26), 3 intra-row spacing (15, 20 and 25cm), and three irrigation intervals (3, 6 and 9days) replicated three times. The treatments were factorized and laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Results from the study revealed that groundnut variety had significant (P≤0.05) effect on the performance of groundnut at the two locations. SAMNUT 24 significantly (P≤0.05) outperformed SAMNUT 26 and 25 respectively in terms of stand establishment count, plant height, canopy spread, pod number per plant, pod weight per plant, and haulms weight per plant at the two locations. Intra-row spacing of 15cm significantly (P≤0.05) outperformed 20 and 25cm respectively however, 6days irrigation interval on growth and 3days irrigation interval on yield parameters recorded a significant (P≤0.05) effect at Badole while at Kugado 6days for growth and 9days irrigation interval for yield parameters was significant. The study revealed that SAMNUT 24, intra-row spacing of 15cm, 6days irrigation interval on growth and 3 days on yield parameters at Badole and Kugado SAMNUT 24, intra-row spacing of 15cm, 6days irrigation interval on growth and 9days irrigation interval on yield component proved to be most effective

 AbstrakHasil tanaman brokoli dari tunas samping diharapkan dapat meningkat dengan adanya pemberian GA3, yang mampu mempengaruhi translokasi nutrisi yang lebih cepat dan lebih baik menuju tunas samping. Percobaan ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh interaksi antara pengaruh konsentrasi dan metode aplikasi hormon GA3 terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman brokoli kultivar Lucky. Percobaan ini telah dilaksanakan pada bulan Februari sampai dengan Mei 2016 di lahan CV. Agro Duta Farm, Kecamatan Cisarua – Kabupaten Bandung Barat, dengan ketinggian tempat 1.100 meter diatas permukaan laut. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan yaitu Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) pola faktorial dengan dua faktor perlakuan, masing-masing terdiri dari 3 taraf yang diulang tiga kali. Faktor pertama adalah konsentrasi GA3 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, dan 100 mg/L. Faktor kedua adalah metode aplikasi GA3 yang terdiri dari taraf perendaman bibit selama 24 jam, penyemprotan daun 15 dan 25 HST, serta perendaman bibit 24 jam dan penyemprotan daun 15 HST. Hasil percobaan menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat pengaruh interaksi antara konsentrasi dan metode aplikasi hormon GA3 terhadap komponen pertumbuhan dan hasil brokoli. Konsentrasi GA3 100 mg/L dapat meningkatkan persentase bobot dan jumlah brokoli kualitas B, serta menurunkan persentase bobot dan jumlah kualitas C brokoli dari tunas samping. Metode aplikasi perendaman akar bibit selama 24 jam dapat menghasilkan persentase bobot dan jumlah brokoli kualitas B dari tunas samping yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kedua perlakuan lainnya.Kata Kunci : GA3, Konsentrasi, Metode Aplikasi, Pertumbuhan dan Hasil, Tanaman BrokoliAbstractBroccoli’s yield from side shoots was expected to increase with GA3 application, due to the translocation of nutrients faster and better towards the side shoots. The experiment was carried out to study the interaction between concentration and application method of GA3 on growth and yield of broccoli. The experiment was conducted from Februari until Mei 2016 at CV. Agro Duta Farm, located in Cisarua – West Bandung, at an elevation of 1.100 m above the sea level. The experimental design used was Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications, consisted of two factors and three levels. The first factor was concentration of GA3, comprised of 25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, and 100 mg/L. The second factor was application method of GA3, comprised of three levels : seedling soaking for 24 hours, foliar spray at 15 and 25 DAT, seedling soaking for 24 hours and foliar spray at 15 DAT. The results showed that there were not interaction between concentration and application method of GA3 on growth and yield component. GA3 100 mg/L significantly increased the percentage of weight and amount B’s quality, and decreased the percentage of weight and amount C’s quality from side shoots of broccoli. The higher percentage of weight and amount B’s quality from side shoots were obtained from seedling soaking of GA3 for 24 hours. Keywords: GA3, Concentration, Application Method, Growth and Yield, Broccoli

Field trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of rates of Phosphorus fertilizer and intra-row spacings on growth and yield of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) in the Sudan Savana zone of Nigeria, during 2018 cropping season at Mohammet Lawan college of Agriculture, Maiduguri (110 50’ N, 130 10’ E, altitude 354 above sea level, altitude 354 above sea level. The experiment consisted of five (5) Phosphorus rates (0, 20, 40, 50 and 60 kg Pha-1) and five (5) intra-row spacings (15, 20, 25 30 and 35cm). The treatments were arranged in a split plot design and replicated three times at each site. Phosphorus rates were assigned to the main plot and intra-row spacings in the sub-plot. The objective was to determine the optimum rate of phosphorus fertilizer that will increase yield performance of cowpea in Sudan savanna zone of Nigeria and determine the most suitable intra-row spacing that will increase yield of cowpea in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria. Data were collected on plant height, number of leaves per plant, days to 50% flowering, number of grain per pod, 100 grain weight, grain yield per hectare and fodder yield per plant respectively. Application of P fertilizer significantly influenced most of the growth and yield characters as well as the yield. Grain yield per hectare were optimum at 50kg Pha-1 Contrary to above finding, number of grain per pod and 1000-grain were all not influenced by the application of P fertilizer and intra-row spacing.

[THE IMPACT OF PALM OIL SLUDGE RESIDUES AND DOLOMITE RESIDUES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF PEANUT (Arachis hypogaea L.) IN ULTISOL].  This study aims to determine the best interaction between palm oil sludge (POS) residues and dolomite residues, determine the best POS residue, and determine the best dolomite residue in the growth and yield of peanut plants. This research was conducted from March 2018 to June 2018, the design used was a Complete Randomized Block Design (RCBD) with two factors. The first factor is POS residue with 3 levels, 0, 10, and 20 tons/ha. The second factor is dolomite residue with 4 levels, namely 0, 2, 4, and 6 tons/ha. The results showed that the best treatment combination was obtained from oil POS residue of 10 tons/ha and dolomite residue of 2 tons/ha which produced the highest total root nodule weights of 0.2417 g. POS residue of 20 tons/ha gives the highest yield on the growth component, which is an average plant height of 16.72 cm. POS residue of 10 tons/ha gave the highest yield on the growth component, namely dry stover weight of an average of 9.57 g, as well as the yield component of 45.20 total pods, 32.84 pods, total pod weight 43.47 g, and the weight of pith pods weighing 36.60 g. The highest total dry pod weight was 2.71 tons/ha. Dolomite residue gave a higher yield on all growth variables and observed results, with the highest total dry pod weight being 2.68 tons/ha.

Phosphorus Levels

Field trials were conducted during the 2015 rainy season at the Bayero University Kano Teaching and Research Farm (110 58’N, 8025’E and 475m above sea level) and National Institute of Horticulture (NIHORT) Bagauda (lat. 120 08'N, long. 80 32'E, 500m above sea level). The study was conducted to determine the response of cowpea varieties to phosphorus levels in the Sudan savannah of Nigeria. The treatments consisted of four cowpea varieties (UAM-09-1051-1, IT99K-573-2-1, IT99K-573-1-1, and TVX 3236) and phosphorus fertilizer (SSP) (0, 20, and 40kg/ha) which were laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The result revealed that application of 40 kg/ha P2O5 statistically recorded the highest grain yield/ha at BUK. No significant phosphorus effect was recorded on grain yield/ha at Bagauda. The findings of the study also revealed that there was significant varietal effect on cowpea growth and yield at both study locations. Higher grain yield was recorded from variety IT99k-573-2-1 (1193.400 kg/ha), followed by variety TVX 3236 (950.900 kg/ha) and IT99k-573-1-1 (776.500 kg/ha) at BUK while no significant effect of variety was recorded at Bagauda. The result of the simple correlation analysis revealed significant negative and positive association between growth and yield parameters. Thus based on this findings, application of 40 kg/ha P2O5 can be recommended for better cowpea growth and yield. Similarly, variety IT99k-573-2-1 can be recommended for both locations.

Many see organic agriculture as the most sustainable form of farming and as the paradigm for global food production in the future. One of the solutions to food insecurity and malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa is to promote local crops, encourage the use of locally source materials as amendment, improve their traditional system of production, and so diversify subsistence crop. The major reasons are the lack of knowledge and skill in land preparation and agronomic practices, weather uncertainties, pest outbreak and above all the use of fertilizer. Hence, this research will be carried out to investigate the effects of integrated application of Urea fertilizer and Goat Manure on soil Nutrient Availability and Okra performance. Field trials were conducted with four treatments replicated three times in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The treatments were Control (no Urea, no goat manure), 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 200kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer; 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 175kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer and 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 150kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer. Treatments were applied three weeks after planting by ring method with Urea and goat manure mixed. Soil physical and chemical properties, growth and yield parameters were evaluated. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Duncan Multiple Range. 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 200kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer gave the highest plant height, leaf area as well as number of leaves than other treatment. However, the fruits weight, days of 50% flowering, number of fruit, fruits diameter and fruits length were significantly increased at 8t/ha-1 goat manure + 200kg/ha-1 urea fertilizer.

ABSTRACT There is little understanding about ecological interference of weeds in direct-seeded rice. To get estimates of economic thresholds of two weeds in direct seeded rice, two-year field trials were conducted at research area of College of Agriculture, University of Sargodha, Punjab-Pakistan. Treatments included 0, 22, 44, 66 and 88 plants m-2 densities of each of Echinochloa colona and Digera arvensis laid out in randomized complete block design. Augmented densities of E. colona (0, 22, 44, 66 and 88 weed plants m-2) enhanced its plant dry biomass up to 348 and 353%; and relative competitive index maximally to 80 and 77% in years 2015 and 2016, respectively. While the corresponding increases in plant dry weight and relative competitive index of D. arvensis were 367 and 360% and 79 and 82%. The enhancement in N (up to 258 & 257 %), P (up to 220 & 232%) and K (up to 293 & 301%) uptake in years 2015 and 2016, respectively were made by E. Colona whereas the corresponding increases in N, P and K assimilation by D. arvensis were as far as 265 & 257%, 238 & 233% and 305 & 298%, respectively. The declines in growth and yield of rice were observed in response to growing number of both the weeds. Rice grain yield losses ranged between 9.8 to 80% and 28 to 80% by E. Colona and D. arvensis. The economic thresholds of false amaranth and jungle rice were estimated to be 1.6-1.4 plants m-2 and 2.2-2.6 plants m-2, respectively.

Vegetables are the prime source of vitamins and minerals. As the population increases there is also increase in demand for nutritional vegetables, but in the conventional method of horticulture the production and productivity is considerably less. Thus to increase the productivity and to feed the over burgeoning population there is a need for novel fertilizers such as Nano fertilizers. An experiment was hence conducted in Chinapettai village, Panruti to investigate the Bio-efficacy of Nano nutrients (Nano Nitrogen, Zinc and Copper) on growth and yield of Capsicum. The experiment was carried out in RBD design (Randomized block design) with three replications and ten treatments. Results showed that the treatment with 100% RD-N+100% RD-P + 100 % RD-K + Nano N + Nano Cu + Nano Zn followed by 100% RD-N +100% RD-P + 100 % RD-K + Nano N and 75% RD-N+100% RD-P + 100 % RD-K + Nano N + Nano Cu + Nano Zn recorded maximum growth and yield parameters. In contrast 50% RD-N + 100% RDP + 100 % RD-K + Nano N showed increase in yield than the control (100% RDF (-N: -P: -K)(250:150:150kg/ha)) to conclude that Nano nitrogen could have compensated the 50% urea recommendation in conventional fertilizer and also had enhanced effect than control.

Organic Fertiliser

Farmers use Inorganic Fertilizers (IF) to improve kenaf yield in Nigeria. However, the detrimental effects of mineral fertilizers and its high cost calls for the use of organic fertilizers that are locally available and environment friendly. Combination of Organic Fertiliser (OF) with IF may reduce the bulkiness of OF while harnessing the benefit of both for higher yields. Field trials were conducted at Ibadan and Ilora in 2013 and 2014 to investigate the effects of combined fertilizers on the growth and yield of kenaf. Organic and IF (NPK 20:10:10) fertilizers as: (i) 160 kg ha-1 (sole organic), (ii) 100 kg ha-1 (sole IFl), (iii) Organic and IF at 50:50 ratio and (iv) control (no fertilizer). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete block design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Results showed that plant height (220.17 cm, 216.80 cm) and stem diameter (2.27 cm, 1.16 cm). Bast fiber (2.27 t/ha, 2.27 t/ha) and seed yield (1.69 t/ha, 1.78 t/ha) in Ibadan and Ilora respectively were significantly higher in plots with combined fertilizer. Combined fertilizers had the highest fiber and seed yield above sole application and control (no fertilizer application). Hence it is recommended for kenaf cultivation in Southwest Nigeria.
