Abstract

Five accessions of Corchorus olitorius obtained from two teaching and research institutions in Nigeria were used to assess the effect of arbuscular mycorriha (AM), poultry manure (PM), in-organic fertilizer (NPK) and the synergy of AM and PM on the growth and yield of Corchorus olitorius. The experiment was a 5 X 5 factorial laid out in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The experiment was conducted in the teaching and research farm of the Department of Agriculture and Industrial Technology, Babcock University Ilishan-remo Nigeria between November 2011 and February 2012. Data were collected on some agronomic and yield characters; and analysis of variance (ANOVA) as well as statistical separation of significant treatment means were done. The combined ANOVA showed significant treatment, accession, replication and accession X treatment interaction effect on most of the traits evaluated at 1% and 5% levels of probability. AM-PM treatment produced significantly higher weight of pod per plant suggesting that AM-PM treatment has high potential in influencing high crop yield even above NPK. There was significant positive correlation between weights of leaf per plant and plant height at maturity and number of branches per plant at maturity suggesting that selection directed toward plant height and number of branches will enhance leaf yield. Accession BUCR7 and BUCR9 were best in number of leaves per plant, weight of leaves per plant and pods per plant; all at maturity, and can be considered as parents in breeding for leafy vegetable yield.
