Effects of Post - Treated and Incubated Gliricidia Biochar Samples on the Growth of Maize Seedlings

Biochar (pyrolyzed biomass) has been shown to have potential in increasing crop yield. There is, however, a dearth of information in Nigeria on the effect of post-treated biochar samples on plant growth in different soil types. The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of nutrient-enhanced and incubated Gliricidia biochar on ...

Improving the Physical Properties of a Degraded Alfisol in Nigeria Using Organic Amendments for Profitable Okra Production

Oshunsanya S.O.*

Experiments were conducted between 2007 and 2008 to determine the optimum rate of organic fertilizer (OF) for okra production and to evaluate residual effects of OF on soil physical properties. Six different rates of OF; 0 kg N ha-1 , 60 kg N ha-1 , 80 kg N ha-1 , 100 kg N ha-1 , 120 kg N ha-1 and 140 kg N ha-1 were replicated five times in a Rando...
