TREATMENTS AND EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The treatments consisted of three levels of compost (0,2and 4 t/ha) and three level is of nitrogen fertilizers (0, 30, and 60 kgN /ha) which were applied to three varieties of soybean (TGx 1742 -2F), (Tx1842- 1E) and (TGx1448-2E). The factorial combination of the 3 treatments levels resulted in 27 different treatments. The N fertilizer used was urea which has 45%N in 50kg bag. The compost treatments were uniformly applied to the plot and worked into the soil by high hoeing a week before transplanting while N fertilizer were applied at two week after planting
