Title

Assessment of the Effects of Farmyard Manure And NPK Fertilizer Application on Banana Yields in Shuuku Town Council, Sheema District, Western Uganda

Abstract

The Experiment was on the effect of Farmyard Manure and NPK Fertilizer on banana yields in Shuuku Town council, Sheema district. It was guided by three objectives which were, determining the effect of Farmyard Manure and NPK Fertilizer on plant girth, plant height, establishing the effect on leaf and sucker development and also determining hands formation on banana bunches in the 3 selected Sites. The experiment was set using an incomplete Randomized block design to evaluate the effects of Farmyard Manure and NPK fertilizer on banana yields, with an aim of determining the effect of Farmyard manure and NPK fertilizer on plant girth, plant height, establishing the effect on leaf and sucker development and also determining Hands formation on banana bunches in the 3 selected farms. Each block consisted of 30 banana stools, each farm with 4 blocks, one block cattle manure, another for NPK fertilizer, another one for a combination of both and the last one as a control in a randomized form. Data was collected from at least 15 banana stools from each block. Data was used to give conclusions to the experiment objectives. Results indicated the highest plant girth was observed in all the plots with the mixture of cattle manure and NPK, the plant girth of the median sucker at 100cm showed significant improvement when cattle manure and NPK were added, cattle manure and NPK 55.67cm, cattle manure 53.08cm, NPK 50.7 and control 50.83. The results indicated that the average of 41.16cm were obtained from all the plots of cattle manure mixed with NPK for the follower (sword suckers) at 50cm compared to 37.73cm from NPK, 33.73cm from cattle manure and lower results were observed from the control plots (28.67cm), the highest average number of leaves was observed from the plots of a combination of cattle manure and NPK 8.12 leaves, followed by 7.43 from NPK plots. The combination of cattle manure and NPK was significant to the development and growth of leaves on the banana plants The researcher recommends a combined application of cattle manure and NPK fertilizers in banana production enterprises since they provide different nutrients to the soil at different times hence ensuring increased yields. The researcher recommended utilization of cattle manure for the average farmers. For the farmers involved in commercial production of the banana crop, the researcher recommended cattle manure to enhance plant heights for the maiden plants, the suckers meaning at planting time and a mixture of both cattle manure and NPK fertilizers later for increased banana yields.
