Effect of Spacing and Cowdung Manure on the Growth of Radish (Raphanus Sativus L.) in the Sudan Savannah of Nigeria
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
The experiment was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Bayero University Kano and Kano State Institute of Horticulture, Bagauda, during the rainy season of 2015 to investigate the effect of spacing and cow dung manure rates on the growth and yield of radish. The experiment comprised four levels of spacing (5, 10, 15, and 20 cm) and five rates of cow dung manure (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 t ha1). It was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The experiment showed that spacing had significant effects on plant height and leaf area index at BUK, while at Bagauda, it only enhanced the leaf area index. The spacing of 5 cm showed a higher effect over other levels of spacing. The higher values obtained per parameter from BUK were; plant height (14.23 cm) leaf area Index (80.58), all at 5 cm spacing. At Bagauda, the highest value obtained was leaf area index (48.33) at 5 cm. Cowdung manure influenced plant height. The highest value obtained due to the application of cow dung manure was plant height (14.31 cm) at 10 t ha-1 at BUK.
