| Loss of foliage in crops could be due to leaf eating insect, diseases, grazing animal and or deliberate cutting of the foliage by humans for consumption and for purpose of green manuring. The level and intensity of this defoliation could have diverse effect on the crop plant. An experiment to study the response of groundnut varieties to varying defoliation intensities was conducted in the wet season of 2012. The treatments which consisted of four intensities of defoliation; No defoliation, (D1), defoliating 10 plants per plot (D2), defoliating 20 plants per plot (D3) and defoliating 30 plants per plot (D4), time of defoliation, 4 weeks after sowing (WAS) T1 and 6WAS T2 and two varieties SAMNUT 21 (V1) and SAMNUT 23 (V2) were laid out in a randomized... |

| An experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research farm of the Institute for Agricultural Research, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. The aim was to study effects of different organic manure sources on performance of groundnut varieties. Treatment consisted of three organic manure source, (Poultry manure, (PM) cow dung (CD) and household waste (HW) each at two levels (1 ton and 2 tons), two varieties of groundnut SAMNUT 21 (V1) and SAMNUT 23 (V2) and a control. The treatments were factorially combined and assigned in a randomized complete block design and replicated three times. Growth data such as plant height, canopy spread and biomass weight and; yield data including, pod yield per plant, seed yield per plant, 100 seed weight were collected. |
