“…These results are in accordance with those of Slama (1986) who found that the salt sensitivity of some crops was related to its higher concentration of Na in the leaves and lower in the roots but they contradict those of Taffouo et al (2010) who found that the retention of Na + in the roots allows the salt sensitive 'Red Seed Coat' landrace to avoid the invasion of the leaves by toxic elements that are likely to reduce the photosynthetic activity by interfering with the opening of stomata and other metabolic processes (Turan, 2007). Na concentrations in the leaf tissues increased significantly under salt treatment in salt-tolerant 'Granada' and 'Nobili' (Table 2).…”

“…Under salt stress 'Granada' was observed to have relatively higher tolerance on average of all growth parameters than 'Nobili', intermediate ones. Similar observations for plant growth were reported in 'White seed coat' (Taffouo et al, 2010) and 'Fleur 11' (Meguekam et al, 2014), described as salt-tolerant cultivars. In the first phase of a biphasic model of growth response to salinity, the vegetative growth is reduced by a decrease in a soil water potential due to water stress effect and may be regulated by inhibitory signals from the roots (Munns, 2002).…”

“…Further, it facilitates severe ion toxicity by depositing high concentration of Na + which causes membrane disorganization, inhibition of cell division and expansion. The influence of salinity and mineral nutrient solution, on productivity, photosynthesis and growth has been studies in different plants (Hosseini and Thengane, 2007;Li et al, 2008;Taffouo et al, 2010). It stated that high levels of Na + inhibits K, Ca and Mg in leaves, which results in a K/Na antagonism and net photosynthesis is affected strongly by NaCl conditions, which is related directly to the closure of stomata as to low intercellular CO2 levels (Al-Karaki, 2000;Turan et al, 2007).…”

The salinity of soil is among the most important abiotic stresses which limit agricultural productivity worldwide. The effects of salinity on growth, nutrient partitioning, chlorophyll, leaf relative water content, osmolytes accumulation and antioxidant compounds of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars ('Granada', 'Goliath' and 'Nobili'), widely used in Cameroon, were investigated. Plants were subjected to four levels of NaCl (0, 50, 100 and 200 mM) at early seedling growth stage of plant development. Application of NaCl treatment led to a significant increase in total soluble sugars, proline, soluble proteins, total free amino acids content, peroxydase and superoxide dismutase activity and total phenolic content in salt-tolerant 'Granada' and 'Nobili' compared to salt-sensitive 'Goliath' and untreated plants, on the contrary, decreased in root dry weight, shoot dry weight, number of leaves, shoot length, stem diameter, total leaf area, chlorophyll and leaf relative water content in 'Goliath' at low salinity level. Flavonoid content, K, Ca and Mg concentrations were significantly reduced with increasing salinity in all cultivars. The highest Na concentrations were detected in the leaves while the lowest were recorded in the roots of 'Goliath' at high salinity level. The salt sensitivity of 'Goliath' seems to be increased osmotic adjustment through the strongly accumulation of Na in leaves while the salt tolerance of 'Granada' was related to its induce of antioxidative enzyme system more efficiently, resulting in higher osmolytes accumulation under salinity. 'Granada' was more tolerant and stable in physiological and biochemical traits suggesting that it could be grown in salt-affected soils.

“…The finding of this experiment is similar to Hossain et al (2007), where N (0, 20, 40, 60 kg/ ha and P (0, 30, 60, 90 kg/ha) dose were applied and found the better growth and yield at N 60 + P 60 kg/ha. Increase the vegetative growth of bambara groundnut with the application of N and P with the rate of 0, 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha was reported by Wamba et al (2012).

Background: Bambara groundnut is an edible legume which is highly nutritious. This study was carried out to find the effect of inorganic and organic fertilizer on the growth, nodulation, nitrogen yield and nutritional composition of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean). Methods: During the period of 2018, a glasshouse experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) at Ladang 15, Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia. Different rates of compost, biofertilizer, gypsum were used along with the combination of different rates of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer. The amino acid content of the seed was measured by HPLC.Result: N and P fertilizer were found to play a dominating role in increasing the vegetative growth and yield of the plant. Plant height (21.73 cm), leaf area (2802.9 cm2) and the number of the pods per plant (41.75) increased with the application of N and P. Application of N30P60 kg/ha influenced nodule number (35.50) of the plant. Lysine content in seed was 6.03 mg/kg at T1 (N30P60 kg/ha) whereas 5.13 mg/kg was recorded at T7 (compost 10 t/ha). The application of N30P60 kg/ha has increased the growth, yield, nodulation and amino acid content of bambara groundnut.

“…The effects of NPK and other fertilizers have been evaluated on landraces of bambara groundnut (Wamba et al, 2012). Also, there have been studies on plant density and/or phosphate fertilizer effects on the crop's growth and yields (Nweke and Emeh, 2013;Ikenganyia et al, 2017).…”

Agricultural sustainability ensues when cultivation of field crops and associated techniques improve not just crop yields but also management-responsive soil properties. Bambara groundnut as an underutilized crop lacks research-based information on its agronomic requirements. This paper reports the key fertility indices of a loamy-sand soil in southeastern Nigeria as influenced by soil and agronomic management practices involving factorial combinations of two bambara groundnut varieties (Caro and Olokoro), two plant spacings (30 cm × 75 cm and 45 cm × 75 cm) and four organic/inorganic fertilizer options. These fertilizer options were NPK 15-15-15 (NPK), single super phosphate (SSP), poultry manure (PM) and Control. The plots under Caro variety spaced 30 cm × 75 cm and grown with NPK or SSP fertilizer showed the highest CEC (8.40 cmol kg–1) and exchangeable K (0.15 cmol kg–1), respectively. Olokoro variety spaced 45 cm × 75 cm and grown with PM or SSP gave the highest total nitrogen (0.14%), soil pHwater (6.35), available phosphorus (107.60 mg kg-1) and exchangeable Ca (3.70 cmol kg-1). The interactions plant spacing × fertilizer type and crop variety × fertilizer type affected all the soil fertility indices studied, while crop variety × plant spacing affected soil pHwater, available phosphorus, CEC and exchangeable Ca and Mg. Generally, as main factors, Olokoro variety, NPK and 45 cm × 75 cm improved soil properties better than their counterparts.
