Effects Of Fertilizer, Lime And Organic Manure On The Nodulation And Growth Of Soybean (Glyc/Ne Max(L) Merrill) In South Eastern Nigeria
A
BST RA CT
Green
house experiment was conducted to study the effects of organic manure, lime and
inorganic
fertilizer on the nodulation and growth of Soybean (Glycine max (L) merrill) on
an
acid
ultisol in southeastern Nigeria. The organic manure was poultry manure, the
lime was commercial lime and the inorganic fertilizer was NPK(15 : 15: 15). There
were 7 treatments and a control. The treatments were 100kg/ha inorganic
fertilizer (NPK 15: 15: 15)(F1 );200kglhainorganicfertilizcr(NPK 15: 15:
15)(F2); 1 ton/halime (F3), 2 tons/ha organic manure (F4); 100kg/ha inorganic
fertilizer (NPK 15: 15: 15), 1 ton/ha lime, and 2 tons/ha organic manure (F5); 200
kg/ha inorganic fertilizer NPK (15 : 15 : 15), 1 ton/ha lime and 2
tons/ha organic manure (F4) and I ton/ha lime and 2 tons/ha organic mauure (F7).
The
control receive zero application of inorganic fertilizer NPK (15: 15: 15),
organic manure
and
lime. The results indicated that the nodulation and growth of Soybean
were significantly(P< 0.05) affected by organic manure, inorganic fertilizer
and lime.
Organic
manure was found to be more effective for nodulation and growth when compared
with
the other treatments. Variations in all the parameters (Plant height, shoot dry
weight, nodule number, nodule dry weight, leaf number and percentage active
nodules) measured for the nodulation and growth were generally of the order
ofF4 > F( > 1 7 F5 > F2 > F1 > F0 > F3. While F4 promoted
nodulation and growth,.,F2 and F1 made no significant increases and F3 reduced
nodulation and growth when compared with the control. The combination of lime,
organic manure and inorganic fertilizer also enhanced nodulation and growth with
F6 having the highest performance. -4
