Verbatim
e1“UF and PM alone or their integration improved soil organic matter (OM), N, P, K, Ca, Mg (urea alone did not increase OM, P and K significantly), yield and growth indices, minerals (urea alone only increased leaf N), moisture, fibre, protein, dry matter, ash and reduced fat content of Amaranthus leaves compared with the control”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Poultry manure improved amaranth yield and growth relative to the control.
- Intervention effect Urea and manure treatments reduced fat content of amaranth leaves relative to control.
- Observation Manure produced amaranth yields of 280 kg in 2016 and 310 kg in 2017 at 120 kg N/ha.
- Observation Urea produced amaranth yields of 250 kg in 2016 and 247 kg in 2017.
- Recommendation Manure at 80 kg N/ha and urea at 40 kg N/ha were identified as optimal for quality amaranth production.
- Recommendation The authors recommend integrating urea at 40 kg N/ha with manure at 80 kg N/ha to improve overall quality.
