Soil Microbial Activity Under Complementary Applications of Organic and Inorganic Amendments

The research described and quantified soil consistency as cumulative consistency value (CCV) at two moisture levels for different horizons of soil profiles located on sedimentary and basement complex parent materials. It was found that the CCVs of soils formed on sedimentary deposits were between 18 and 28 while the CCVs for the soils formed on the...

Enhancing Maize (zea Mays L.) Growth and Nutrient Uptake Via Application of Water Hyacinth (eichornia Crassipes [mart.] Solms) Compost and Inorganic Nutrients

Atere C. T.*, Olayinka A.

A soil culture experiment was conducted in the screenhouse to assess the growth response of maize to water hyacinth compost application rates and their residual effects. Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes [Mart.] Solms) compost, namely, 2.5 t ha-1(W1) and 5.0 t ha-1 (W2) with and without fortification with fertilizer, F [N (25 kg ha-1 as urea) an...

Soil Chemical Properties and Growth of Maize (zea Mays L.) as Affected by Cocoa Pod Compost Based N and P Fertilizer

Atere C. T.*, Olayinka A.

A greenhouse soil culture experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of organo-mineral fertilizers on soil chemical properties, growth, dry matter yield and tissue nutrient contents of maize (Zea mays L.). The organo-mineral fertilizers consisted of cocoa (Theobroma cacao) pod compost fortified with inorganic N and P. Five (5) kilogramme...
