Effect Of Auxins And Cytokinins On The Growth And Yield Performance Of Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)
ABSTRACT
The
effects of auxins and cytokinins at different concentrations rations on the
growth and yield parameters of three genotypes of cassava were investigated.
Randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used with three replications and
genotypes consisted ofTME 419, CR 41-10 and UMUCASS 36. The treatments used
were auxins (a- naphthalene acetic acid at 0, 0.0 I and 0.02mm ) and cytokinins
(6-benzyladenine at 0, 0.02 and 0.05mm). The growth regulators were medially
applied to the cutting and allowed to dry for 30minutes before planting. Data
collected was subjected to analysis of variance using GenSTA T statistical
tool. The result of the experiment showed that the plant growth regulators has
significant increase for tuberization of cassava plant but showed no
significant effect on the growth parameters at 3month after planting. The
result revealed that increase in the concentration of auxins have positive
effect on the yield parameter but cytokinin showed negative effect with
increase in the concentration. Treatments with 0.02mM auxins induced the greatest
increase in root weight, biomass and root number of M esculenta, thereby
suggesting that auxins at 0.02mM concentration could thus be used to enhance
tuberization of cassava plant.
