Complementary Effects Of Palm Bunch Ash And Poultry Manure On Soil Acidity And Yield Of Mungbean (Vigna Radiata (L.) Wilczek) At Umudike Area Of Abia State Nigeria.
ABSTRACT
The experiment
was conducted at Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike Green house
to ascertain the Complementary effect of Palm Bunch Ash (PBA) and Poultry
Manure (PM) on soil acidity and yield of munghean (Vignciadala). The Objectives
of the study were to determine the effect of Palm Bunch Ash (PBA) and Poultry
Manure (PM) on soil properties especially soil acidity, to determine the best
rate of application in tons per hectare, to determine the effect of Palm bunch
Ash and Poultry Manure on mungbean yield and yield parameters. The treatments
used were as follows: 01/ha, 6tlha of Palm Bunch Ash, 6tlha of Poultry Manure (PM),
4tlha of Palm Bunch Ash and 2tlha of Poultry Manure combined, 4t/ha of Poultry
Manure and of Palm Bunch Ash combined, 3t/ha of Palm Bunch Ash and 3tlha of
Poultry Manure combined, with three (3) replicates. These gave a total of
Eighteen (18) treatments. The experimental design used was Completely
Randomized Design. The following plant parameters were measured; plant height,
number of leaves, plant branching, number of root branching, root length, grain
weight (g), number of grains and number of nodules. Soil parameters determined
include: soil pH, exchangeable acidity, hydrogen and aluminum, exchangeable
calcium, potassium, sodium and magnesium, available phosphorus, total nitrogen
while the following were calculated; percentage base saturation, percentage
aluminum, percentage calcium saturation, total exchangeable bases, effective
cation exchange capacity and calcium : aluminum ratio. All the data were
subjected to the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the GENSTAT package and the
differences between the treatments means were separated by the least
significant differences.
