- Intervention effect Poultry manure reduced soil bulk density.
- Intervention effect Poultry manure improved grain mineral composition.
- Association Maize growth increased with higher poultry manure levels.
- Association Maize yield increased with higher poultry manure levels.
- Intervention effect The 10 t ha⁻ 1 rate gave the best outcomes, comparable to 15 and 20 t ha⁻ 1 for yield and nutritional quality.
- Intervention effect Grain yield increased by 54.6% with 5 poultry manure versus control.
- Intervention effect Grain yield increased by 94.6% with 10 poultry manure versus control.
- Intervention effect Grain yield increased by 93.5% with 15 poultry manure versus control.
- Intervention effect Grain yield increased by 91.4% with 20 t ha⁻ 1 poultry manure versus control.
- Observation The 10 t ha⁻ 1 rate was the most cost-effective and beneficial by benefit-to-cost ratio.
- Recommendation The authors recommend 10 t ha⁻ 1 poultry manure for fertility and maize performance.
