Abstract

The experiment was conducted in Ibadan, Nigeria during 2020 and 2021 cropping season to determine the effects of fertilizer application on the growth, yield and nutritional quality of black sesame (Sesamum radiatum S.). The treatments were poultry manure at the rate of 4 t/ha, pig manure at the rate of 4 t/ha, NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer at the rate of 200 kg/ha, Super gro at the rate of 1 litre/ha and control (no fertilizer). The treatments were replicated three times in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). Data were collected on plant height, number of leaves from 4 – 6 weeks after planting (WAP). Leaf area, edible yield, marketable yield, total biomass and nutrient composition were determined at the termination of the experiment. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using Tukey at p < 0.05. The study showed that 4 t/ha of poultry manure and 4t/ha of pig manure significantly increased plant height and number of leaves of sesamum radiatum over other treatments. However, 200kg of NPK 20.10.10 and 4 t/ha of pig manure gave the highest in edible yield, marketable yield and total biomass at harvest. The nutrient content was investigated, the results showed that 4 t/ha of poultry manure, 4 t/ha of pig manure. 200kg of NPK 20.10.10 and 1 litre of super gro influence Black sesame, although they had differing effects on the nutrient composition. Poultry manure at the rate of 4 t/ha, pig manure at the rate of 4 t/ha, NPK 20:10:10 fertilizer at the rate of 200 kg/ha, Super gro at the rate of 1 litre/ha were recommended for production of Sesamum radiatum. The study proves that fertilizer application on low quality soil improved the soil physicochemical properties and also improved the nutritional quality of the crop.
