Abstract
Of our time, the intensification of cultures, the poor management of
plant nutrition, the degradation of soil and the lack of crop rotation are
principal factors responsible to the decrease of the productivities of
cultures. The main objective of this study was to evaluate effects of
fertilizers associated to the organic manure on the growing measure of cereals
(Maize and Sorghum) in a degraded soil of North. This
study was carried out at the site of the Polyvalente Station of Agricultural
Research of the North-Cameroon. Treatments were: T0 (control); T1 (poultry
manure); T2 (fertilizers 23-10-5+2Mgo +7.5S); T3 (poultry manure + fertilizers
23-10-5+2Mgo +7.5S). The experimental design was a
completely randomized blocks with 3 repetitions. The parameters evaluated were:
the germination rate, the height of plants and the diameters of plants of these
two cereals. The results showed that the germination rate was suitable with
the use of all treatments for the Maize variety CMS-8501 and favorable for the
Zouaye variety with the use of poultry manure and the association of poultry
manure + fertilizers. The apply of fertilizers types and the association of
poultry manure + fertilizers were significant (P≤0.05) on the height of Maize
variety CMS-8501, compared to the control plots. Concerning the Zouaye variety,
the use of poultry manure, fertilizers types and both treatments were
significant (P≤0.05) on the height of plants compared to control. Moreover, the
number of leaves emitted by the Maize variety CMS-8501 was significant (P≤0.05)
with the fertilizers and poultry manure + fertilizers treatments. But for the
Zouaye variety, all treatments applied were enhance the number of leaves
emitted. However, the diameter of plants for the Maize variety CMS-8501
significantly (P≤0.05) increased with the supply of fertilizers and both
treatments compared to control plots. Concerning the Zouaye variety, all
treatments applied significantly (P≤0.05) favor the diameter of plants compared
to control plots.
