Okra is a popular crop in Cameroon but average yields remain low due to its cultivation as a minor crop, limited availability of improved varieties, poor soil fertility and high cost of chemical fertilizers. The main aim of this work was to evaluate the potential of cheap and locally available cocoa pod husk and plantain peels to improve soil fertility and okra production in western Cameroon. The experimental design in the field was a Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with six treatments and three repetitions, namely: control or natural soil (T0), plantain peels powder at 3 tons ha-1 (T1), cocoa pod husk powder at 8 tons ha-1 (T2), NPK 12-14-19 at 250 kg/ha (T3), plantain peels powder+NPK 12-14-19(T4) and cocoa pod husk powder+NPK 12-14-19 (T5). The soil was analysed before and aft.. Read More»
