Title StatementPerformance of Stylosanthes guianensis cv. Cook Stylo as influenced by the application of soil amendments
Summary, Etc.The growth and seed production performance of Cook stylo were evaluated in a field experiment involving two levels of lime and three levels of phosphorus fertilizer application. Data gathered showed that seedling density of the limed treatments at 30 DAE was significantly higher than the unlimed treatments. However, when the number of seedlings per square meter was monitored at 175 DAE/maturity stage, plant density did not vary significantly between treatment combinations due to the lower seedling survival observed from the limed treatments. Results further disclosed that application of lime significantly improved plant growth particularly plant height and length of lateral branches. On the other hand, phosphorus application significantly increased seed production of Cook stylo and number of root nodules per plant. Observations made on the flowering of Cook stylo revealed that lime and phosphorus fertilizer application delayed flowering started by two to three days. Phosphorus fertilized treatments attained peak of flowering five and three days earlier from the limed and unfertilized treatments, respectively. Seed weight per 1000 seeds did not vary significantly between treatment combinations although it had numerically higher seed weight in the phosphorus treated plots. Economic analysis showed a higher net benefit of P22,720 from T2 and T5 followed by P21,550 from T3. Very low profit was realized from T4 and T6 due to low seed yield produced coupled with additional cost incurred due to the application of lime. Projected income for the succeeding two years of production disclosed a higher profit because of the reduction in the cost of production. The level of income obtained during the succeeding years followed a similar trend from that obtained during the first year of production
