CONTROL OF SOYBEAN ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE DISEASE USING COMPOSTED CASSAVA (MANIHOTESCULENTA CRANTZ) PEEL

In a 3 x 3 factorial experiment with 4 replications, the effects of composted Cassava peels and Chromoleanaodorataon root-knot nematode disease on soybean yield were investigated. These organic manures were treated in splits of 2 and 3 kilogramme per 1.2 x 1.5m seedbed to soybean varieties TGX 1908-1, TGX1921-4F, and TGX1485-1D. The severity of the illness differed across soybean cultivars and organic manures applied 16 weeks after planting, according to the results. TGX 1921-4F >TGX 1908-1 >TGX 1485-1D was the order of soybean susceptibility to the nematode. However, when the organic soil amendments were applied to the soybean cultivars, root knot reductions were significant (P=0.05). This was more noticeable when composted cassava peels were used, but it was not considerably different from Chromoleanaodorata. Root-knot reductions were related to the timing of flowering and pod formation. The same might be said of yields and the number of root nodules produced.
