Analysis On The Effect Of Fertilizer On Yam Yield (A Case Study Of National Roots And Crops Research Institute (NRCRI), Umudike)
ABSTRACT
The declining
trend in yam produce highlights the need for a statistical study to determine
the effect of fertilizer on yam yield as well as the best agronomy management
options available for increase yam productivity. This project addresses the
above issue by analyzing the effect of three different types of fertilizers
(NPK12:12:17:2mg, NPK15:15:15, NPK20:10:10) on the yield ofyam in National Root
Crop Research Institute, Umud e using one-way ANOVA. Significant efleet ofthe
fertilizers were observed on yam (i.e., yam tuber yield), showing that the
three treatments (three different types of fertilizers) were significantly
different. Therefore, there is a need to carry out the multiple comparison
tests to detect which pair of treatments is significantly different. The Duncan
Multiple Range Test was used to carry out this test. The result shows that
there is a significant difference between treatment 1 and 3, but there is no
significant diflerence between treatments 1 and 2, also treatments 2 and 3.
Hence, of the three types of fertilizers, the NPK12:12:17:2mg fertilizer has the
best effect on yam and therefore, it is recommended for optimum yam yield
