EVALUATION OF SESAME (SESAMUM INDICUM L.) UNDER SELECTD ORGANIC FERTILIZER MATERIALS IN OGBOMOSO
Abstract
This pot experiment was carried out at Arable Experimental Plot of the
department of Crop Production and Soil Science, Ladoke Akintola University
of Technology, Ogbomoso, to evaluate sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) under
selected organic fertilizer materials in Ogbomoso Oyo state, Nigereia. The six
(6) treatment introduced were, T0= (Zero application of fertilizer), T1= (Neem
@6tons/ha), T2=(Poultry@ 6tons/ha), T3= (Cowdung @6tons/ha), T4= (Rabbit
@6tons/ha), T5=(Markpure @ 6tons/ha).
These trials were designed in a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD)
replicated three times. All fertilizer treatment were applied at recommended
rates. All data collected on growth and yield parameters of analyzed following
the procedure of Analysis of variances (ANOVA) and Duncan Multiple Range
Test (DMRT) was used to separate treatment means, at 5% probability level.
Soil sample was slightly acidic with the pH value of 6.14. T5 (mark
pure@6tons) significantly has the highest mean value in the sesame
production, while T0 (Zero application of fertilizer) has the least mean value of
all the parameters measure. Therefore T5 (mark pure@6tons) is
recommended to improve growth and yield of Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)
and also boost the physical properties in the study area.
