Abstract

This study was carried out at Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, Kebbi state Nigeria to assess the effect of different watering regimes on the initial growth development of Detarium microcarpum seedlings in two phases; Complete Randomized Design with seven (7) replications was used. The data obtained were analyzed using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result revealed that seeds of D. microcarpum assessed three (3) different watering regimes (once in a day (T1), once after two days (T2), and once after three days (T3) on seedlings growth performance from early January to late March. The treatments were laid in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated 12 times. The data obtained was analyzed using a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). D. Microcarpum seedlings Treated with treatment T2 were found to differ significantly (P<0.05) with other treatments having a high mean shoot height and mean leaf number while T1 was recorded with highest collar diameter. T3 was recorded with low mean shoot height and leaves number, therefore the findings revealed and recommend that, watering ones in 2 days is more effective on D. microcarpum early seedling growth.
