- Intervention effect Organic manures significantly improved soil properties and soil quality index under cassava.
- Intervention effect Organic manures significantly improved cassava yield.
- Intervention effect Tithonia diversifolia fresh biomass lowered soil bulk density under cassava.
- Intervention effect Poultry manure lowered soil bulk density under cassava.
- Intervention effect Tithonia biomass increased soil porosity, water holding capacity, and chemical properties.
- Intervention effect Poultry manure increased soil porosity, water holding capacity, and chemical properties.
- Intervention effect Tithonia biomass improved cassava aerial dry biomass and fresh tuber yield.
- Intervention effect Organic manures performed better than inorganic fertilizer.
- Intervention effect The 10 t ha −1 each Tithonia and poultry manure mixture produced 51 and 52 t ha −1 fresh tubers in successive years.
- Association Soil quality index and cassava yield were positively and significantly correlated.
- Observation The 10 t ha −1 each mixture had a benefit:cost ratio of 3.2:1.
- Observation The 10 t ha −1 each mixture gave net return of FCFA 3.736.900 ha −1.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that Tithonia biomass and poultry manure offer a sustainable cassava production method in southern Cameroon.
