Abstract

The high prevalence of lofty demand on lands for other uses aside for agricultural purposes has resulted in unavailability of lands for cultivation and thereby forcing farmers to employ continuous cropping of same farmland at the cost of soil fertility management. The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of rabbit urine and urea fertilizers on the yield performance of Amaranthus (Amaranthus hybridus) at two different locations in Akure, Southwest, Nigeria. The experimental design was Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with ten treatments and each replicated three times. The responsive effect of the plant to treatment and location was determined at 2, 4, 6 and 7 weeks respectively. Result showed that Amaranthus hybridus performance increased (P < 0.05) when exposed individually to different quantity/ration of rabbit urine and urea respectively as well as their mixed ratios. Results also showed that different treatment applied had significant effect (p ≤ 0.05) on growth parameters such as plant height and leaves numbers, which were all significantly higher when compared with the control. Meanwhile, the improved growth of Amaranthus hybridus at FUTA (Federal University of Technology, Akure) location is higher than that at FECA (Federal College of Agriculture, Akure) location. Furthermore, the interaction between location and treatment is significantly different at 95% level of significance at 1-7 weeks after planting. Conclusively, there is positive effect of rabbit urine and urea fertilizer on the performance of Amaranthus hybridus.
