Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted during the 2015 rainy season at the teaching and research farm of Bayero University Kano new campus (Latitude 120 58 ‘N and Longitude 80 25’E) and at the National Horticultural Research Institute Bagauda, Kano (110 33’N and 80 23’E), both located in the Sudan savanna ecological zone of Nigeria to evaluate the response of vegetable Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) to Gibberellic acid concentrations. The treatment consists of four levels of Gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 200, 400, 600ppm) that were laid using out in a Randomized complete block design with four replications, the net plot was 2m X 1.5m making (3m2 ) with 0.5m between 1m between replicates. Application of GA3 400ppm and 600ppm significantly increased plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh weight, dry weight at both locations in addition application of Gibberellic acid at 400ppm and 600ppm significantly increased the fresh and dry weight of amaranth at Bagauda. Hence these treatments are recommended for amaranth farmers in the study area in order to boost their economic status.
