Abstract
A research was carried out in research and teaching farm of, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki to determine effects of different rates of slaughter house wastes on soil properties and cocoyam corm yield. Four rates of slaughter house wastes namely 0 (control), 3, 6 and 9 t ha −1 were used as amendment. Soil and cocoyam were analysed using analysis of variance and differences between treatment means detected using Fisher's least significant difference (FLSD) at 5% probability level. Results from the study showed that slaughter house wastes application significant (P < 0.05) improved soil properties and cocoyam corm yield compared to control. Also, the higher the application of slaughter house wastes in the plots, the higher the improvements in soil properties though not all the improvements were significant (p < 0.05). Slaughter house wastes significantly increased cocoyam corm yield compared to control.
在阿巴卡利基埃博尼州立大学的研究和教学农场进行了一项研究，以确定不同屠宰场废物率对土壤性质和椰子球茎产量的影响。屠宰场废物的四种比率，即0（对照）、3、6和9 t ha−1被用作修正。在5%的概率水平下，使用Fisher最小显著性差异（FLSD）检测的处理方法之间的方差和差异分析来分析土壤和椰子。研究结果表明，与对照相比，屠宰场废弃物的施用显著改善了土壤性质和椰子球茎产量（P<0.05）。此外，屠宰场废弃物在地块中的施用量越高，土壤性质的改善就越高，尽管并非所有的改善都是显著的（p<0.05）。与对照相比，屠宰场废物显著提高了椰子球茎的产量。
期刊介绍：
IJARGE proposes and fosters discussion on the evolution and governance of agricultural resources, with emphasis on the implications that policy choices have on both the welfare of humans and the ecology of the planet. This perspective acknowledges the complexity of the agricultural sector as an interface between ecological and socio-economic processes operating in parallel over different space-time scales, as well as the reflexive characteristic of human systems.
