Abstract

The aim of this study was to find alternatives to the use of chemical fertilizers to help improve the availability in the nursery of plants of the Batard and Big ebanga cultivars of plantain. The trial was set up at the IRAD Agricultural Research Station in Njombé using a completely randomized Fisher block system. The study assessed the impact of three alternative fertilizers (Poultry manure, kitchen wood ash, mycorrhizal fungi) on the evolution of morpho-physiological parameters (number of leaves, pseudostem height, collar circumference and leaf area) and biochemicals (chlorophylls and carotenoids) of the plants with NPK treatment serving as a positive control. Ten weeks after treatments, results show that the poultry manure and the NPK have a significant impact on the morphological and biochemical parameters compared to the other treatments. The average heights of the pseudostem and that of the circumferences at the collar of the plants treated with NPK are respectively 20.1 cm and 5.7 cm for the Batard variety and 22 cm and 6 cm for the Big ebanga variety; those of plants treated with poultry manure are 17.4 cm and 5 cm for Batard and 19.2 and 5.6 for Big ebanga. The chlorophyll contents of the leaves of the plants treated with NPK and poultry manure are respectively 21.1 and 15.1 for Batard and 26.9 and 23.3 µg/ml for Big ebanga. A mass of 7g per plant of poultry manure appear as an alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers for producing plants from stem fragments.
