Prospects and problems of using Jatropha cake as organic fertiliser among crop farmers in Oyo State, Nigeria
The study investigated prospects and problems of Jatropha cake as organic fertiliser in Nigeria. All members of Jatropha Farmers Group in Ibadan metropolis, Oyo State, Nigeria (106) were purposively selected for the study. Interview schedule was used for data collection while frequency counts and percentage were used for data analysis. Results showed that average yield of Jatropha was 2.94 kg/ha while the quantity of Jatropha cake processed per farmer was 11.9 kg. Majority (76.5%) of the farmers indicated that Jatropha cake supported high crop yield. Also, 79.3% were favourably disposed to continuous use of Jatropha cake, indicating acceptability of the cake and prospects for market availability. Availability of Jatropha seeds ranked highest amongst constraints to Jatropha production followed by inadequate processing technologies. In conclusion, Jatropha cake was adjudged as having potentials to fill the gap of farmers' fertiliser requirements through increased availability of Jatropha cake via sustained Jatropha cultivation.
期刊介绍:
IJARGE proposes and fosters discussion on the evolution and governance of agricultural resources, with emphasis on the implications that policy choices have on both the welfare of humans and the ecology of the planet. This perspective acknowledges the complexity of the agricultural sector as an interface between ecological and socio-economic processes operating in parallel over different space-time scales, as well as the reflexive characteristic of human systems.
