Growth and Yield Performance of Banana (Musa acuminate L.) as Affected by Different Farm Manures

Asia Pacific Journal of Multidisciplinary Research,, 2017

This study was conducted at the Integrated Sustainable Agri-Techno Demo Farm with a duration of 308 days. This study aimed to determine the growth and yield performance of banana (Musa acuminata L.) as affected by different farm manures. Specifically, it attempted to: (1) determine the effect of different farm manures on the growth and yield performance of banana; and to (2) determine the cost and return of the different farm manures. The experiment was laid out using the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to evaluate the differences between treatments using F-test at 5 and 1 percent levels of significance and the Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was used to evaluate the differences among treatment means. The treatments used were the following: T 1-chicken manure, T 2-cow manure, T 3-goat manure, and T 4-hog manure. The results revealed that the application of chicken manure recorded the tallest plants (5.27 cm), most number of suckers (340). The application of chicken manure and goat manure significantly increased the mid-trunk diameter (25.63cm) and (25.62 cm); finger length (14.33 cm) and (13.13 cm); finger diameter (3.60 cm each); and weight of fruits (450kgs each). Net income and return on investment (ROI) were also influenced by chicken manure and goat manure. Application of chicken manure and goat manure significantly enhanced the yield quality attributes and income of banana compared to the other sources of organic manure.

Bishop Stuart University Journal of Development, Education & Technology

The Experiment was on the effect of Farmyard Manure and NPK Fertilizer on banana yields in Shuuku Town council, Sheema district. It was guided by three objectives which were, determining the effect of Farmyard Manure and NPK Fertilizer on plant girth, plant height, establishing the effect on leaf and sucker development and also determining hands formation on banana bunches in the 3 selected Sites. The experiment was set using an incomplete randomized block design to evaluate the effects of Farmyard Manure and NPK fertilizer on banana yields, with an aim of determining the effect of Farmyard manure and NPK fertilizer on plant girth, plant height, establishing the effect on leaf and sucker development and also determining Hands formation on banana bunches in the 3 selected farms. Each block consisted of 30 banana stools, each farm with 4 blocks, one block cattle manure, another for NPK fertilizer, another one for a combination of both and the last one as a control in a randomized for...

Effect of organic manure and mulch on growth and yield of Plantain (Musa AAB) in Ituri Province, in the North-eastern of DR-Congo

International Journal of Innovation and Applied Studies, 2020

The constraints threatening plantain production in the eastern of DR-Congo include soil fertility. An experiment was conducted at the National Institute for Agricultural Study and Research at Nioka Research Station to evaluate the effect of organic manures and mulch on growth and yield parameters of plantain (Musa AAB). This study revealed that response of organic manures was significant for all the parameters. Manure application enhanced significantly banana plant growth and yield. The highest bunches weight and yield were produced by the plants receiving manure (24.03t/ha) and mulch (23.24 t/ha) while, lowest bunches and yield were harvested in control plot without fertilizer (17.64 t/ha).

18. Effect Of Organic Manures On Yield And Economic Analysis Of Tomato Varieties

The field experiment was conducted in the Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October 2013 to March 2014. Two factors were used in the experiment, viz. factor A: four types of organic manure such as M0= Control, M1 = Cow dung (20 t/ha), M2 = Poultry manure (16 t/ha) and M3 = Vermi compost (14 t/ha) and factor B: three varieties such as V1 = BARI tomato 15, V2 = BARI tomato 14 and V3 = BARI tomato 2. The experiment was laid out in Randomized complete Block Design with three replications. The maximum yield (86.25 t/ha) was recorded from treatment combination of M2V1, while M0V3 gave the minimum (31.25 t/ha). The highest benefit cost ratio (2.98) was obtained from M2V1 and the lowest (1.41) from M0V3.

Influence of organic manures on growth and yield of vegetable Clusterbean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.)

2019

A field experiment was conducted at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore during Kharif season of 2018-19. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with twelve treatments replicated thrice Viz., Organic farmer’s practice, FYM @ 25 t/ha + Panchagavya @ 3% as foliar spray (FS), FYM @ 12.5 t/ha + Panchagavya @ 3% as FS, FYM @ 12.5 t/ha + banana pseudostem sap @ 2% as FS, Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha + Panchagavya @ 3% as FS, Vermicompost @ 5t/ha + banana pseudostem sap @ 2% as FS, Ganajeevamruth @ 500 kg/ha + Panchagavya @ 3% as FS, Ganajeevamruth @ 500 kg/ha + banana pseudostem sap @ 2% as FS, Humic acid @ 6 l/ha + Panchagavya @ 3% as FS, Humic acid @ 6 l/ha + banana pseudostem sap @ 2% as FS, recommended dose of NPK fertilizers (RDF)(50:50:25) + TNAU pulse wonder @ 1% as FS and absolute control.

Combined effect of organic manures on growth and yield of tomato varieties

The field experiment was conducted in the Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October 2013 to March 2014. Two factors were used in the experiment, viz. factor A: four types of organic manure such as M0= Control, M1 = Cow dung (20 t/ha), M2 = Poultry manure (16 t/ha) and M3 = Vermi compost (14 t/ha) and factor B: three varieties such as V1 = BARI tomato 15, V2 = BARI tomato 14 and V3 = BARI tomato 2. The experiment was laid out in Randomized complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The maximum (49.64 kg/plot) yield was recorded from treatment combination of M2V1 while the treatment combination of M0V3 gave the minimum yield (18.00 kg/plot). The maximum yield (86.25 t/ha) was recorded from treatment combination of M2V1, while M0V3 gave the minimum (31.25 t/ha). So, poultry manure with BARI Tomato 15 may be used for tomato cultivation.

Nutrient Availability from an Organic Fertilizer Produced by Chemical Decomposition of Solid Wastes in Relation to Dry Matter Production in Banana

Advances in Research

An investigation was carried out at the College of Agriculture, Trivandrum, Kerala, India to evaluate the suitability of an organic fertilizer produced by rapid chemical decomposition of organic waste as a substitute for farmyard manure for banana cultivation with reference to its effects on soil properties, nutrient availability and dry matter production. A field experiment for 11 months duration was conducted in banana (Musa spp. variety Nendran) in Randomized Block Design with eight treatments with three replications. The treatments were selected to compare conventional farmyard manure based and soil test based fertilizer recommendations with those of the newly produced rapid organic fertilizer. Treatments to study the combined effect were also included. Fertilizers were applied basally and in six split doses in accordance with the recommended package of practices. The fresh weight of the pseudostem, leaves, fruits and rhizome were recorded at harvest and dry Original Research Article matter production computed after oven drying the samples. The study revealed that the substitution of farmyard manure with rapid organic fertilizer imparted a better buffering action to soil with only 51.43% decline in pH, without significant changes in electrical conductivity and ensured a steady supply of major nutrients during the active growth stages of the crop. Total and fruit dry matter production also differed significantly. Hence it can be inferred th rapid thermochemical decomposition of solid wastes can substitute farmyard manure for banana cultivation.
