EFFECT OF COMPOSTED MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE AND NPK FERTILIZER
ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF MAIZE (Zea mays L)
ABSTRACT
Municipalities are facing a growing problem of how to safely
dispose off their wastes. Municipalsolid waste (MSW) is waste from households,
commercial centres, institutions (school, offices).Composting is used to reduce
huge pile of biodegradable MSW and convert it into value addedproduct like
manure and biogas. Inorganic fertilizer such as NPK also exerts strong
influence onplant growth, development and yield. Two year experiments were
conducted in the Teaching andResearch Farm of Department of Crop Science,
Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nigeria,Nsukka to determine the response
of maize to MSW compost and NPK fertilizer application. A 4 x 4factorial
experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications
was
used for the study.
The two factors were MSW (0, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 t/ha) and NPK
(20:10:10) (0, 100,200 and 300 kg/ha). The following data were collected: leaf
area, Plant height, stem girth, number ofleaves, days to first tasseling, plant
fresh weight, plant dry weight, ear weight, ear height, earcircumference, cob
weight, 100 grain weight, grain yield and harvest index. Data collected weresubjected
to analysis of variance (ANOVA). The means were separated using Fisher’s
leastsignificant difference (F-LSD). Plant height, leaf area, number of leaves
and stem girth increasedwith increase in NPK and MSW rates while days to
tasselling and silking was reduced. The 100grain weight, grain yield per
hectare and harvest index were significantly increased with increase inMSW and
NPK rates. Proximate composition followed the same trend apart from
carbohydratecontent which decreased with increase in application rates of MSW
and NPK. Application of either2000 kg/ha MSW or 300 kg/ha NPK gave the highest
yield of maize in 2011 and 2012.Complementary application of MSW and NPK was
significantly higher than sole application.Combination of 2.0 t/ha MSW with 300
kg/ha NPK had significantly higher effect than othertreatment combination in
both years and were found satisfactory for achieving high yields in maize.It is
recommended that further research should be carried out to determine the
optimum ratesrequired for maize production since performance increased up to
the highest rates of MSW and NPK
