Varietal Response of Cola Species to Fertilizer Application on Field Establishment, Growth, Development and Canopy Characteristics

Responses of Cola nitida and acuminata to NPK Super-gro fertilizers on seedling development, field establishment, canopy characteristics were investigated in 2019-2020. Seedlings the two species transplanted as a randomized complete block design with three replications field. Fertilizer treatments imposed shoot root growth parameters cola monitored for growing seasons. From results, application fertilizer positively enhanced leaf stem branch development well features compared super-gro control treatments.
