 ABSTRACT

During March 2018 to August 2019, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of NPK fertilizer on the growth and flowering of Wedelia trilobata L. plants in Shambat, College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University of Science and Technology, Khartoum, Sudan. In black polyethylene bags, NPK was tested as a soil application to the potting media at rates of 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 g/plant. Each treatment was replicated four times in this study, which followed a completely randomized design. Treatments were repeated every 40 days, and data was collected on six parameters at 40, 125, 215, and 300 days after application. In comparison to the control, the results revealed significant variation in growth parameters due to NPK application. 8g NPK/plant produced the highest values of measured parameters.
