“…This might be due to synthesis of higher amount of sulphur containing amino acids and fatty acid (conversion of acetyl Co-A to malonyl Co-A) resulting from increased activity of thiokinase enzyme due to S supply. Similar results were reported by Poonia (2000); Rasool et al (2013) and Sheoran et al (2014). ).95 t ha -1 oil yield was obtained in hybrid Super-48 which was followed by Super-90 (0.83 t ha -1 ).…”

under split plot design taking four nutrient management practices including combination of recommended dose of fertilizer, application of ZnSO 4 @ 25 kg ha -1 , boron @ 1 kg ha -1 and biofertliser along with four genotypes including three hybrids and one local variety evaluated that application of recommended dose of fertilizer with dose of 80−60−80 kg N, P 2 O 5 , K 2 O+ZnSO 4 @ 25 kg ha -1 recorded in higher plant height (160.3 cm), number of leaves (31.1), leaf area index (3.549) and dry matter accumulation (128.90 g plant -1 ) with higher crop growth rate (12.343 g m -2 d -1 ) as compared to other and also reported higher seed (2.17 t ha -1 ), Stover (4.88 t ha -1 ) and oil (0.91 t ha -1 ) yield, which was followed by application of recommended dose of fertilizer+boron 1 k ha -1 . Hybrid Super-48 recorded higher growth and yield attributing characters as compared to others with plant height, number of leaves, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate with corresponding values of 157.8 cm, 23.0, 3.572, 133.22 g plant -1 and 13.177 g d -1 m -2 , respectively. Application of ZnSO 4 25 kg ha -1 in hybrid Super-48 recorded the highest seed yield and oil due application of sulphur which was followed by application of boron 1 kg ha -1 .

“…Dry matter (Table 2) also increased at a rate of around 3.5% in the period between 30 to 45 DAS that followed same trend as that of plant height. This, results were confirmed by earlier worker Rasool et al (2013). Hybrid Super-48 recorded in highest dry matter accumulation of 133.22 which was superior over the others.…”

“…6 Research elsewhere has shown that the application of 10 t/ha and 20 t/ha farmyard manure improved sunflower grain yield. 7 Recently Materechera 8 reported improved aggregate stability, reduced soil strength and bulk density and increased bambara nut (Voandzeia subterranean L.) growth and yield after applying 5 t/ha of cattle manure on a hard setting and crusting chromic Luvisol in South Africa. Dunjana 9 observed in clayey soils that infiltration rates were increased by 30% with 25 t/ha cattle manure applications over control, while no changes in steady state infiltration rates were observed with manure application on sandy soils after 6 years.…”

Poultry and cattle manure effects on sunflower performance, grain yield and selected soil properties in Limpopo Province, South Africa

The application of organic manures as alternatives to reduce the use of mineral fertilisers is considered a good agricultural practice for smallholder farmers. However, the effect of organic manure on soil properties and crop yield depends upon its application rate and its chemical composition. A field experiment was carried out during the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons at the University of Venda experimental farm (Limpopo Province, South Africa) to determine the effect of three organic manures (cattle, poultry and their 1:1 combination, 20 t/ha) on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) performance, grain yield and selected soil properties under rainfed conditions. Poultry manure produced the highest final infiltration rate and cumulative infiltration followed by cattle manure, their combination and the control in that order. Total nitrogen, calcium, and zinc were significantly different between treatments in the first season while potassium, sodium, and zinc were significantly different in the second season. Manure combination and poultry manure produced the highest organic carbon and available phosphorus, respectively, in both seasons compared to other treatments. Organic manure application had a significant (p less than 0.05) effect on dry matter, plant height and stem girth at all growth stages in the second cropping season but only in the flower bud stage for both parameters in the first season. Manure application in the second season resulted in an increase in the grain yield compared to the first season, except after application of poultry manure whereafter the grain yield decreased significantly by 168% from the first cropping season. The application of organic manure had a significant effect on sunflower grain yield, dry matter, head dry matter, plant height and stem girth throughout all growing stages in the second cropping season with poultry manure producing the best values.

“…Unfortunately, information is lacking on the response of sunflower to organic fertilizer application in humid tropical Africa. Recent work in India reported linear increase in seed yield as farmyard manure rate increased from 10 to 20 ton/ha, suggesting that an additional increase in seed yield with increase in rate of farmyard manure (Rasool et al, 2013). Similarly, plant population density (Olowe, 2005;Petcu et al, 2010) and planting ratio (Shakuntula et al, 2012) studies also indicated varying results in different locations.…”

“…Earlier research works on sunflower agronomy in the tropics reported varying optimum rates of nitrogen fertilizer to be 60 kg N/ ha in Nigeria , 80 kgN/ha in India (Rasool et al, 2013), 150 kgN/ha at Islamabad, Pakistan (Bakht et al, 2010) and 180 kgN/ha at Faisalabad, Pakistan (Nasim et al, 2012b). Sunflower growers rarely apply organic fertilizers to sunflower despite the inherent advantage (slow nutrient release and potential improvement of soil structure and water holding capacity) of organic plot compared with the conventional plot (Posner et al, 2008).…”

Two field experiments were conducted on the Teaching and Research Farm of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (7°15′ N, 3°25′ E, altitude 140 m above sea level) in south western Nigeria between June and November, 2012 to evaluate the performance of two sunflower varieties (SAMSUN-3 and Funtua) as affected by different sowing dates and organic fertilizer application. The experiment was laid out in split-split plot design with sowing dates as main plot, organic fertilizer as sub-plot and variety as sub-sub-plot, and replicated three times. Sowing date significantly (P 0.05) increased and reduced number of phenological days to flowering of early and late sown sunflower, respectively. Funtua (a local adapted variety) matured 7 days later than SAMSUN-3 (recently released variety) when sown late. Application of organic fertilizer significantly (P 0.05) increased plant height of early and late sown sunflower. Delay in sowing till first week in September significantly (P 0.05) reduced head diameter, number of seeds per head and seed yield of late sown sunflower. Oil and protein contents of seeds from early and late sown sunflower plants were significantly (P 0.05) increased by organic fertilizer application, except protein content of late sown sunflower. However, it significantly (P 0.05) increased oil yield by 23% relative to the control in the late sown sunflower. Based on the comparatively high seed yield (850.45-1,525.78 kg/ha) recorded in our study, it is recommended that sunflower *Corresponding author: V.I.O. Olowe,
