The study investigated the effect of cassava peel on the growth and development of Gmelina arborea seedlings. The treatment was made up of cassava peel applied to top soil at 1 g, 2 g, 3 g, 4 g, 5 g, 6 g, 7 g, 8 g, 9 g, 10 g. The treatments were replicated three times. The treatments were mixed with 20 kg of soil thereby making a total of thirty three (33). The experiment, which lasted eight weeks, was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and the following variables were assessed; stem height, stem diameter, leaf length and leaf production. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and mean separation was carried out using Least Significant Difference (LSD). The result obtained showed that treatment 6 g gave the best response in term of number of leaves with mean 16.35 while treatment 2 g had the least performance with mean 6.67. The treatment 3 g of cassava peel performed best in terms of leaf length with mean 18.00 while 10 g and 8 g treatments had the lowest stem diameter of 29 cm. With respect to plant height, the treatment of 6 g of cassava peel application had the best response with plant height of 46.67 cm, while the least value of 20.67 cm was recorded in treatment 8 g. Hence, the control (0 g) has significant difference from treatment 8 g. In all the variables assessed, the control showed close values with treatment 8 g, 9 g and 10 g. The result shows a higher level of significant difference to the control at p < 0.05. However, it is recommended that when raising Gmelina arborea where the traits, plant height and leaves are of importance, 6 g of cassava peel is better adapted. Hence, the plant could be raised in the absence of any treatment where appropriate soil is used.

Background: Acclimatization is the last stage of tissue culture that aims to adapt plantlets to environmental conditions. Nutrient availability needs to be considered in this critical phase. This research was conducted to determine the right type of organic manure and AMF dose to support the post-acclimatization growth of banana cv. Barangan. Methods: The study using a completely randomized design (CRD) based on factorial with two treatment factors. The first factor is the type of organic manures: goat manure, cow manure, vermicompost and compost. The second factor is AMF doses: 0, 5, 10, 15 g/plant. Observed variables include the plant height, the pseudo-stem diameter, leaf number, leaf length and width and the percentage of mycorrhiza infections at the plant roots. Result: The results showed an interaction between the type of organic manure and AMF dosage at the leaf length and width, but not on the plant height, the pseudo-stem diameter and leaf number. The application of various organic manures types has a significant effect on the plant height, the pseudo-stem diameter, leaf length and width, but no significant effect on the leaf number. The application of various doses of AMF has no significant impact on all of the observed variables.
