Abstract
Solanum scabrum is a vegetable widely grown in Nigeria. Its production is affected by the source and quality of nitrogen fertilizer. Plant height and yield vary with the different fertilizers and rates of application. This study aimed to investigate the response of Solanum scabrum to the application of Distilled Cassava with Soluble as a biofertilizer. The experiment was laid out in a Complete Randomize Design (CRD) with four treatments: T1: without fertilizer, T2: 160g NPK 15:15:15, T3: whole distilled cassava with soluble (WDCS) 5 kg and T4: Liquid distilled cassava with soluble (LDCS) 10 litres. The experimental site was sandy loam. 20 g of Solanum scabrum seeds were planted into the beds of 3m x 3m each using the drilling method. The plant height and yield of T2 were significantly (P<0.05) higher than T1, T3 and T4 due to the relative abundance supply of nitrogen from NPK 15:15:15. Plants treated with T3 and T4 produced better results compared to T1 in terms of plant height and yield. Nitrogen application and source were shown to significantly (P≤0.05) affect plant height and yield. Application of WDCS (T3) and LDCS (T4) also produced better results in terms of plant height and yield compared to inorganic fertilizer (T2) and hence can serve as alternative inorganic fertilizer to small scale famers with inadequate capital who may not be able to buy inorganic fertilizers in large quantities as required during production period.
