| Abstract: | The experiment was carried out on the teaching and research farm of the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta to determine the effect of phosphorus application rates on growth, yield and yield components of Trichosanthes cucumerina L. The experimental design was randomized complete block design with three replicates. The treatments were application of phosphorus at different levels (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 kgha-1). Phosphorus significantly increased growth, yield and yield components (number of leaves, number of flowers length of main vine etc.) of snake tomato at 15kg/ha up to 30 kg P ha-1, beyond which there was a reduction. |
