IMPACT DES FUMURES ORGANIQUE ET MINERALE SUR LES PARAMETRES AGRONOMIQUES DU MIL (PENNISETUM GLAUCUM (L.) R. BR.) A TARNA, NIGER

Abstract

Millet, Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br. is the excellent crop adapted to the particular production conditions of the Sahel. However climatic hazards and inherent low soil fertility reduce millet yield. Hence, this study aims to evaluate the impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on agronomic parameters of millet. The trial was conducted at the experimental station of the regional agricultural research center of Tarna (Maradi). The experimental design is a randomized complete block with 12 treatments replicated three times. The plant material used is SOSAT C88. The parameters measured are emergence rate, tillering bolting and millet yield. Results analysis shows that the use of organic and mineral fertilizers significantly affect tillering, bolting and millet yield. The results obtained show that the application of organic and mineral fertilizers improves the agronomic parameters of millet.
