EFFECT OF COMPOSTED MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AND NPK FERTILIZER ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF MAIZE (Zea mays L) IN NSUKKA


ABSTRACT
Municipalities are facing a growing problem of how to safely dispose off their wastes. Municipal
solid waste (MSW) is waste from households, commercial centres, institutions (school, offices).
Composting is used to reduce huge pile of biodegradable MSW and convert it into value added
product like manure and biogas. Inorganic fertilizer such as NPK also exerts strong influence on
plant growth, development and yield. Two year experiments were conducted in the Teaching and
Research Farm of Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nigeria,
Nsukka to determine the response of maize to MSW compost and NPK fertilizer application. A 4 x 4
factorial experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications was
used for the study.

The two factors were MSW (0, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 t/ha) and NPK (20:10:10) (0, 100,
200 and 300 kg/ha). The following data were collected: leaf area, Plant height, stem girth, number of
leaves, days to first tasseling, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, ear weight, ear height, ear
circumference, cob weight, 100 grain weight, grain yield and harvest index. Data collected were
subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The means were separated using Fisher’s least
significant difference (F-LSD). Plant height, leaf area, number of leaves and stem girth increased
with increase in NPK and MSW rates while days to tasselling and silking was reduced. The 100
grain weight, grain yield per hectare and harvest index were significantly increased with increase in
MSW and NPK rates. Proximate composition followed the same trend apart from carbohydrate
content which decreased with increase in application rates of MSW and NPK. Application of either
2000 kg/ha MSW or 300 kg/ha NPK gave the highest yield of maize in 2011 and 2012.
Complementary application of MSW and NPK was significantly higher than sole application.
Combination of 2.0 t/ha MSW with 300 kg/ha NPK had significantly higher effect than other
treatment combination in both years and were found satisfactory for achieving high yields in maize.
It is recommended that further research should be carried out to determine the optimum rates
required for maize production since performance increased up to the highest rates of MSW and NPK
fertilizer

WAZOBIA INVESTMENT WILL CRASH BY OCTOBER.

WAZOBIA INVESTMENT WILL CRASH BY OCTOBER.   History repeats itself, a lot of investments have been pouring in large proportions into the fastest growing scheme in Nigeria called wazobia investment.   However, a vast majority of these investors are still very much worried, they keep asking-when will this scheme come to an end, some even inquire from fellow investors as to a likely time.   Well, this information should not be ignored, I mean what I am about to say here Firstly, strong observations have it that ponzi scheme operators pay you initially with their money, the doubled money you received is from their pocket. They invest huge cash into the system, their aim is to draw in more persons. The people that gain more in a ponzi scheme are the early starters, so these guys keep pumping money into the system with an expectation of more persons.   WAZOBIA CRASH WILL BE GREATER THAN OR CLOSE TO THAT OF M-M-M   Reasons, before you withdraw from wazobia you have to ...

ELECTRICITY TARIFF INCREASE BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA IS EVIL

ELECTRICITY TARIFF INCREASE BY FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA IS EVIL Nigeria federal governments over the years have been very irresponsible when it comes to electricity, there have been a continuous accumulation of gross mismanagement and misappropriation of funds which should have been used to develop our electrical power generation capacity. The poor levels of power supply in Nigeria have affected the growth and development rate of the Nigeria economy. It is therefore a move pf gross insensitivity for the federal government of Nigeria to plan to further increase electricity tariffs even in the face of poor management and administration in Nigeria.
