1.2.
Objectives of the study
The overall objective of the study is to determine the
influence of organic and mineral amendments on the availability of phosphorus,
growth and yield of carrots in volcanic soils.
The Specific objectives are:
Ø Evaluate the effect of manure and lime on the soil
pH, organic matter, Nitrogen, exchangeable acidity, Ca, Mg and P
availability
Ø Determine the effect of manure and lime on the
growth and yield of carrots
1.3 The hypotheses of the study are
The hypotheses of the study are:
Ø Manure and lime as soil amendments can significantly
affect soil pH, Total nitrogen, exchangeable acidity, Ca, Mg and P availability
in volcanic soil compare to control plot (without amendment).
Ø Manure and lime as soil amendments significantly
increase the growth and yield of carrot in volcanic soil
compare to control plot (without amendment).
