Due to severely weathered soils and copious amounts of rainfall, the timing and rate of fertilizer application to enhance yields, nitrogen use efficiency, and recovery of fluted pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis) have been key concerns in southwestern Nigeria. The experiment was conducted using a 2 x 2 x 5 randomized complete block split plot design (RCBSPD) with four varieties. Ilesa and...
This present study aimed at evaluating the effect of fertilizer rate and time of application on yield, and determined the availability of soil P and S to S. macrocarpon. The experiment was conducted in the derived savanna (Ogbomoso) and the rainforest (Ilesha) in southwest Nigeria. The treatments were arranged in a factorial combination and laid out in a split-plot design with four replicates....
