Abstract
The study was conducted at the Arboratum site of the Department of Forestry and Environmental Management Technology, Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic, Kazaure, to evaluate the effect of fertilizer (NPK) application on growth performance of Parkia biglobosa and Tamarindus indica seedlings. Three levels of NPK fertilizer (0, 3, 5, and 7 g) and no fertilizer were used. The soil test was conducted to test the CEC (Organic carbon, pH and soil texture) of the site before applying fertilizers to the plants for growth, in which the pH is between 6.0 - 7.0 and the soil texture is sandy loam and Organic carbon is 0.45. The fertilizer was applied by ring method after dig round the stem of the planted seedlings at three centi meter deep (3cm). All the treatments were set in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were analysed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), while Duncan Multiple Range Test was used for means separation among the parameters measured. The result showed no significant (P>0.05) difference in stem height and collar diameter, number of leaflets and Number of Branches compared to control. Data on growth parameters was taken at three weeks’ interval. T. indicates applied with 5g of NPK fertilizer had significantly higher value than the control while 7g was found to be of highest value in Parkia b. It is evident from the results of this study that, the two tree species responded to NPK fertilizer application. It is recommended that the farmers should be enlighten on the accurate dose of NPK fertilizer to be used on the growth performance of these tropical trees planted on the farms and plantation site.
