ABSTRACT
Effects of different doses of
fertilizers on growth and yield components of biodiesel plant (Jatropha
curcas L.), was made in the prevailing environment of University of Science
and Technology Bannu. The experiment was carried out in randomized complete
block design (RCBD) with three replications. Nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium were applied in the form of urea, single super phosphate and potash
in the shape of combined NPK, respectively, during sprouting of
leaves and thereafter with each irrigation in split
doses. The analysis of variance for number of branches per plant showed
significant results indicated in ANOVA. Significantly the number
of primary branches per plant 8.07 was recorded in T4 with the application of
dose of (N P K: 2507.5 gm: 1091.5 gm: 501.5 gm). Maximum No. of secondary
branches per plant (9.100) were recorded in T1 especially at both plots. Flower
per inflorescence showed that maximum value (122.810) was recorded in T5 of
especially at both plots. Inflorescence plant-1 showed
that maximum value (39.477) were recorded in T1 and minimum value were noted as
(12.733) at T3 on both the flats. The data for fruits per plant showed that
maximum value (143.300) was recorded in T1. The seed index, which was the
output of the aim of this research work, reflects highly significant
differences in mean value observed for both subplots. Mean values showed that
maximum seeds weight 45.86 was recorded in T1 of especially at both plots while
low seed index was noted as 22.84 at T5 (N: 3400 gm, P: 1480 gm, K: 680 gm) at
both the subplots.

ABSTRAK
Kesan
daripada dos baja yang berbeza ke atas komponen pertumbuhan dan hasil tumbuhan
biodiesel (Jatropha curcas L.) dibuat dalam persekitaran semasa di
Universiti Sains dan Teknologi Bannu. Penyelidikan telah dijalankan dalam reka bentuk blok lengkap (RCBD) dengan tiga replikasi. Nitrogen, fosforus dan
kalium diaplikasikan dalam bentuk urea, super fosfat tunggal dan potas
masing-masing dalam bentuk gabungan NPK, semasa daun bercambah dan
selepas itu dalam setiap pengairan dengan dos berbeza. Analisis
varians bagi bilangan dahan setiap tumbuhan menunjukkan hasil yang dinyatakan
dalam ANOVA. Bilangan paling ketara untuk dahan setiap
tumbuhan 8.07 direkodkan pada T4 dengan penggunaan dos (N P K: 2507.5 gm:
1091.5 gm: 501.5 gm). Bilangan maksimum dahan sekunder setiap
tumbuhan (9.100) direkodkan pada T1 untuk kedua-dua petak. Bunga untuk setiap perbungaan menunjukkan nilai maksimum (122.810)
direkodkan pada T5 untuk kedua-dua petak. Tumbuhan
perbungaan menunjukkan nilai maksimum (39.477) telah direkodkan pada T1 dan
nilai minimum dicatat sebagai (12.733) pada T3 ke atas kedua-dua dataran. Data untuk buah-buahan setiap tumbahan menunjukkan nilai
maksimum (143.300) direkodkan pada T1. Indeks benih yang merupakan
output matlamat penyelidikan ini, menunjukkan perbezaan ketara untuk nilai min
yang diperhatikan pada kedua-dua subpetak. Nilai min menunjukkan berat maksimum
45.86 direkodkan pada T1 untuk kedua-dua petak manakala indeks biji benih
minimum telah direkod sebagai 22.84 pada T5 ((N: 3400 gm, P: 1480 gm, K: 680
gm) untuk kedua-dua subpetak.
