The effects of cool weather in the spring or fall are similar, cool
temperature produces plant growth rate more than photosynthesis.
This
calls for an increase in reserve carbohydrate in the plant and higher
foliage quality. As plant matures, it increases in fibres and decrease
in digestibility, crude protein and intake by livestock (Rayburn, 1993).
In biology, everything that has life must grow and every living
organism that grows must come to a peak or climax of the growth, death
of old age will occur (Delvin, 1975).
Sometimes, living
organism such as plants and animals die before that maturity or old age
due to certain circumstances that affects growth. Some of the factors
that cause this premature death also affect the growth rate of plants
and animals
1.2 Statement of Problem
In this research,
attempt is made to establish the relationship between the soil type and
NPK fertilizer on the productivity of tomato in Nigeria and West Africa
in order to improve the yield of tomato. Tomato is a staple vegetable
fruit in many African dishes with a huge annual consumption. The
findings shall act as baseline data for tomato grower, not only in Oko
but in tomato producing part of the world.
1.3 Aim and Objective
The aim of this work is to compare the effects of NPK fertilizer, loamy
soil and sandy soil on the growth of tomato solanum lycopersicum
The specific objective
1. To compare the effects of NPK fertilizer, Loamy soil and Sandy soil on growth of tomato.
2. To compare the effects of NKP fertilizer, Loamy soil and Sandy soil on the yield of tomato.
1.4 Significance of the Study
Tomatoes are the greatest significant vegetable crops in the world
after potato and research to improve the rate of its productivity will
be of great importance.
Specifically at the successful completion of
this research, the result from this work will be beneficial to tomato
farmers as they can now know the favourable soil to use in planting
tomatoes in order to improve their tomato yield and with increase in the
tomato yield, our society will have more tomatoes and its product to
consume at lower price.
Finally, this work will help create more jobs
for unemployed as many can now go into tomato farming. The finding of
this research will add to the existing literature on tomato.
1.5 Scope of the Study
The scope of this work focuses on comparing the effects of NPK
fertilizer, loamy soil, and sandy soil on the growth of tomato Solanum
lycopersicum and also know the best soil to use in planting tomato.
