Effect of Tillage and Staking on the production of fluted Pumpkin
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted using fluted pumpkin (telfairia occidentals) to determine the effect of 3 different tillage (zero, mound and flat) and 3 different staking (zero, individual and pyramid) on a sandy clay loam soil of the humid tropics at faculty research farm Esut, Enugu Southeastern Nigeria between June and December, 2008. The treatment consists of 3 levels of tillage and3 levels of staking as mentioned above. The experiment was a 3 x 3 factorial laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications and nine treatments. The results obtained revealed significant different of p 0.05 among some of the รง. treatments. The highest number of vine length and number of flower per plant of 196.16 and 36 were obtained from zero tillage / individual staking while the least were recorded for flat tillage/individual staking of 115.19 and zero tillage/pyramidal staking of 3 respectively. Average leaf yield ranged from 277.7 to 852.5 (g) were obtained. Based on their performance, treatment 5 (mound tillage/individual staking and treatment), 6(mound tillage/pyramidal staking) have the highest leaf yield.
