Abstract

This research was carried out in the Research and Teaching Farm of Faculty of Agriculture in Delta State University of Science and Technology, Ozoro in southern Nigeria to evaluate the effect of livestock urine on the performance of pumpkin (Telfairia occidentalis Hook. F.) Two different livestock sources (goat and cow) were used. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The parameters assessed were number of leaves, number of branches, vine length, plant girth, leaf area, leaf area index and leaf yield. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (LSD = 0.05) and means were separated using Tukey’s HSD. The result shows that pumpkin treated with goat urine perfromaned better with significant difference at 5% level of probability in terms of number of leaves, number of branches, vine of length, plant girth, leaf area, leaf area index and leaf yield. Goat urine is therefore recommended for farmer in the study area to boost production.
