Enhancing Dry Season Production of Indian Spinach (Basella alba)through Fertigation

Optimum and qualitative production of vegetables in the depleted soils during the dry season are best achieved through irrigation. Two experiments were concurrently conducted in 2010 to determine the effect of irrigated poultry manure on the vegetative growth and nutritional quality of Indian Spinach ( Basella alba) in South Western Nigeria. Poultry manure (P) rates at 0 (P 0+W), 5 (P1+W), 10 (P2+W), 15 (P3+W) and 20 t ha -1
