Effects of N.P.K (15:15:15) fertilizer and poultry manure rates on the growth and yield of soybeans (Glycine Max L) Department:Crop Science By: SIRJOSEPH Project ID: 7345 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦4000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractField experiment was carried out at the student demonstration farm, Department of Crop Production Technology Federal Polytechnic Bali, to investigate the effects of different rates of NPK and poultry manure on the growth and yield of soybean. The experiment was carried out in July 2023. The experimental design used was a complete randomized block design (CRBD), which consisted of 2 replications for NPK treatments and 2 replications for manure treatment. Each replication consisted of 4 beds, which made a total of 16 beds for both treatments. Seeds were planted on a seed bed at 25cm x 25cm distance, each treatment was labeled T1, T2, T3, and T4. The space between beds is 0.5m, while between replications is 1m. The factors studied were poultry manure rates and NPK (15:15:15) rates, NPK rates were 88g/plot, 68g/plots, 0g/plot, 108g/plot, poultry manure rates were 2.5kg/plot, 6.5kg/plot, 4kg/plot, 0kg/plot, poultry manure was applied two weeks before sowing the seed. NPK was applied two weeks after germination. Parameters assessed were plant height at 4 and 8 weeks, number of leaves at 4 and 8 weeks, number of flowers at 8 weeks, number of pods per plant at 9 weeks, and fresh biomass at 9 weeks. The method of data analysis used was descriptive statistics (average) and presented as bar charts. Results show that manure produces the highest effects on the plant fresh biomass, while NPK produces the highest number of pods per plant....Preview Download Preview +Other Crop Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Effect of NPK fertilizer and intra-row spacing on growth and yield of Sesame (Sesamumindicum l.) in Sokoto Sudan Savanna, Nigeria»Studies of yield and yield related traits in some hybrids of maize (Zea Mays L.) genotypes»Effects of N.P.K (15:15:15) fertilizer and poultry manure rates on the growth and yield of soybeans (Glycine Max L)
