Effects Of Single-Element Fertilizers And A Compound-Element Fertilizer On Cassava Maiiiizot Esculenia, Crantz) Cyanide
ABSTRACT
The effects of single element
fertilizers: Muriate of potash, single super phosphate, urea and compound
fertilizer NPK 15:15:15 on cassava Manihoi esculenta, Crantz) cyanide was
investigated. The cassava variety TMR 8082 was cultivated in buckets and
treated with different fertilizers at the rate of 0kg/ha, 200kg/ha, 300kg/ha,
400kg/ha and 500kg/ha per planting bucket. •The roots and fully expanded leaves
were analysed to ascertain the free, bound and total cyanide content. The type
of fertilizer used sigiiificantly affected (t P < 0.05) the cyanide content
of the treated cassava seedlings. Though the quantity of fertilizer applied
affected the cyanide content, the effect was not significant at (P < 0.05).
The result generally indicated that the treatment lowers the hydrocyanic acid
content of cassava. More so, the leaves of cassava seedlings contained more
cyanogenic glycoside than the roots.
