- Intervention effect The highest poultry manure and potassium rates produced taller cocoyam plants.
- Intervention effect The highest manure and potassium rates increased leaf area index, shoot dry matter, and corm and cormel number compared with other treatments.
- Intervention effect Corm and cormel weight and total yield were optimized at 10t/ha manure and 80 kg K/ha.
- Intervention effect Increasing potassium to 120 kg K/ha increased shoot dry matter by 29%.
- Intervention effect Increasing manure to 15t/ha increased corm and cormel number by 40%.
- Intervention effect Increasing potassium to 120 kg K/ha increased corm and cormel number by 34%.
- Intervention effect Corm and cormel weight and total yield were statistically similar at the two higher manure and potassium rates, apart from corm and cormel weight in 2007.
- Intervention effect Corm and cormel weight peaked at 15t/ha poultry manure in 2007.
- Intervention effect 15t/ha manure combined with either 80 or 120 kg K/ha out-yielded other treatments in corm and cormel weight and total yield.
