Growth Responses and Yield of Two Varieties of Corchorus to Biochar and Organic Fertilizers as Soil Amendments
This study assessed the effects of biochar and organic fertilizers on the growth and yield of Corchorus varieties (NHCo-01 and NHCo-02). The treatments: two commercially available organic fertilizers coded A and B, biochar (C), and combination of all the three (D), each applied at 0, 5, 10, and 15 t ha⁻¹ two weeks before sowing. The experiment followed Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. Data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA (p < 0.05). Results showed that organic amendments significantly improved growth and yield compared to control.
