The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 12 treatments and 3 replications viz. T 1-Control, T 2-RDF: N:P:K (100💯100 g/plant/year), T 3-FYM (20kg/tree), T 4-Vermicompost (10kg/tree), T 5-Neem Cake (2kg/tree), T 6-Mustard Oil Cake (2kg/tree), T 7-FYM (10 kg/tree) + Neem Cake (1kg/tree), T 8-FYM (10kg/tree) + Mustard Oil Cake (1kg/tree), T 9-Vermicompost (5kg/tree) + Neem Cake (1kg/tree), T 10-Vermicompost (5kg/tree) + Mustard Oil Cake (1kg/tree), T 11-FYM (10kg/tree) + Mustard Oil Cake (1kg/tree) + Neem Cake (1kg/tree) and T 12-Vermicompost (5kg/tree) + Mustard Oil Cake (1kg/tree) + Neem Cake (1kg/tree). Maximum number of fruits/plant (85.66), fruit set (30.02%) and yield/plant (9.60 kg), juice content (47.46 ml/fruit), TSS (5.78 °B), total sugar (6.19%), reducing sugar (3.62%), ascorbic acid (52.63 mg/100 g), available nitrogen (430.52kg/ha), available phosphorus (57.30kg/ha), available potassium (306.13kg/ha), organic carbon (2.62%), total nitrogen (2.35%), total phosphorus (0.16%) and total potassium (1.66%) was recorded by treatment T 10-Vermicompost (5kg/tree) + Mustard Oil Cake (1kg/tree). However, non-significant effect was found in vegetative growth parameters. Thus, application of Vermicompost (5kg/tree) + Mustard Oil Cake (1kg/tree) before flowering to get the best crop with maximum yield and quality.

EFFECT OF BIO, ORGANIC AND CHEMICAL FERTILIZATION ON THE GROWTH OF GRAFTED POMELO AND GRAPEFRUIT SEEDLINGS

Int. J. Agricult. Stat. Sci, 2022

The experience aimed to demonstrate the response of Citrus grandis and Citrus paradise grafts growing on twoyear-old Sour orange seedlings to bio-fertilizer (Gorabac G, liquid organic (Compo) and chemical urea in improving growth and its mineral content. The obtained results showed that the type of grafted seedlings did not have any significant effect on all the studied traits, while the addition of fertilizer combinations for each of the bio-fertilizer (Gorapac G) and the liquid organic fertilizer (Compo) led to a significant increase in all the studied traits, especially the treatment (20 gm. seedlings of Gorabac G biofertilizer + 10 ml. liter of liquid organic fertilizer Compo). The highest significant values were recorded for most of the studied traits.

Agronomic Traits and Fruit Quality of Pineapple with Different Levels of Chicken Manure Application

Silpakorn University Science and Technology Journal, 2014

The responses of the pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr cv. Pattavia) grown in a fine-silty soil to various levels of chicken manure, in terms of plant growth, and fruit yield and quality, were investigated at a farm plantation in Petchaburi, Thailand. A randomized complete block design with 4 replications was used. Treatments were the chicken manure applied in levels equivalent to 0 (control), 3, 6 and 9 g nitrogen (N) plant-1. The manure was manually and thoroughly mixed with the soils, which was incubated for 30 days prior to pineapple planting. Agronomic traits of the pineapple plants and chemical composition of the pineapple fruits were determined. Plant growth and fruit size were linearly increased (p<0.05) with the increased manure levels. Fresh fruit weight from the highest level of manure application was 60% higher than that of the control treatment. Similarly, citric acid and vitamin C contents were linearly increased (p<0.05) as the manure rates increased. It can be concluded that growth and yield of the pineapple positively respond to increased chicken manure application. In terms of productivity, the moderate application rate of chicken manure cannot yet be recommended because curvilinear response has not been detected in this study. Therefore, further study with respect to a wider range of application rate is required to find out the most appropriate rate.

Effect of Poultry Manure and Different Combinations of Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Four Tomato Varieties in Ghana

Agricultural Science, 2014

The agronomic response of four tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) varieties to fertilizer application was examined at the CSIR-Crops Research Institute, Kwadaso-Kumasi in the Forest agro-ecological zone of Ghana during the 2013 growing season. The four tomato varieties Shasta, Heinz, CRI POO and CRI 034 were evaluated on five different fertilizer types using a split plot arrangements in randomized complete block design with three replications. The Tomato varieties were the main plots, with the fertilizer treatments as the subplots. The CSIR-CRI breeding lines (CRI P00 and CRI P034) were able to yield higher than the exotic varieties. Using Winner fertilizer (6 g/plant at two weeks after transplanting (WAT)) and Sulfan (3 g/plant at 4 WAT) CRI P00 produced the highest yield (26.4 t/ha) followed by chicken manure (250 g/plant at 2 and 4 WAT) (23.1 t/ha). CRI P00 with Winner + Sulfan fertilizer application also produced significantly (p≤0.05) higher fruit yield (26.4 t/ha). Fertilizer application however did not have any significant effect on the days to flowering over the control.Fertilizer application however, increased the number of branching for the tomato plants with Unik15 + Urea having significantly more branches compared to the control. Results from this study showed that tomato yields in the Forest zones in Ghana can be increased using improved varieties and recommended fertilizer rates.

VARIATION IN FRUIT TRAITS OF PAWPAW UNDER DIFFERENT RATES OF POULTRY MANURE

Botanical Society of Nigeria (BOSON), 2020

Twelve pawpaw (Carica papaya L.) accessions were evaluated at Nsukka (Latitude 6°51′28″ N Longitude 7°23′44″ E at an elevation of 423 m above sea level), Nigeria, under three poultry manure (PM) rates (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) in order to study the effect of the manure variation on fruit traits. The experiment was a split plot laid out in randomised complete block design replicated thrice. Main plot treatment was poultry manure rates and sub-plot treatment was the 12 accessions of pawpaw. Data on percent number of fruited plants, number of fruits harvested, trueto-type fruit pulp colour and fruit shape were collected. The effect of accession showed that Cnd-Cl-Ro significantly (p ≤ 0.05) produced the highest number of fruited plants (80.0%). Number of fruits harvested was highest in accessions Ijm-Cl-Ro and Ijm-Sp-Ly (6.8). Accession Ijm-Sp-Ly had highest fruits with similar pulp colour and fruit shape (53.3%) to the initial. Application of 10 t ha-1 of PM significantly produced the highest number of fruited plants (60.0%) and fruits harvested (4.4) but did not significantly affect true-to-type fruit pulp colour and shape.

Effect of Organic Manures, Biofertilizers and NPK on Vegetative Growth, Yield, Fruit Quality and Soil Fertility of Eureka Lemon Trees (Citrus limon (L.) Burm

A field experiment was carried out during the years 2013, 2014 and 2015 on Eureka lemon at El-Nubaria region, El-Beheira governorate, to study the effect of farmyard manure and biofertilizers with NPK dose on soil fertility, growth, yield, fruit quality and leaf nutrient content of Eureka lemon trees. Eleven treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Results revealed significant differences amongst various growth attributes, fruit yield, fruit quality, leaf mineral content and soil nutrients availability due to farmyard manure and biofertilizers application. Also, farmyard manure and biofertilizers could compensate for the 50% reduction of chemical fertilizers, and increasing yield compared to chemical fertilizers with significant differences. Therefore, treatment of 50% NPK + 55 kg farmyard manure + biofertilizers is recommended for growers. This treatment gave the best growth, yield and fruit quality of Eureka lemon trees. Moreover, this treatment improved the nutritional status of the trees, through the beneficial effects of organic and biofertilizers which enhanced the availability of most nutrients in the soil.
