The Effect Of Wood Ash On The Release Of Phosphorus And Potassium And Growth Of Maize (Zea Mays) In An Acid Soil Of Southeastern Nigeria
ABSTRACT
A pot experiment was conducted at the Michael
Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike in the 2005 farming season to study
the effect of wood ash on the release of phos2horus and potassium and growth of
maize in Southeastern Nigeria. A Completely Randomized Design was used in the
experiment with six treatments and four replications. The treatments were 0, 1,
2, 3, 4 and 5 t/ha. The results obtained showed that there was significant
difference in pH level at the third and fourth weeks after application. The 2
t/ha and 4 t/ha gave the highest of release of P in solution at the fourth week
after application. There was no effect. 'of the treatment on plant height and
number of leaves per plant.
