Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Tithonia diversifolia fresh biomass (TB) lowered bulk density by 14–22.6%
- Intervention effect Poultry manure (PM) lowered bulk density by 21.5–26.2%
- Intervention effect The TB + PM mixture lowered bulk density by 18.2–25%
- Intervention effect Manure application increased total porosity by 9.8–15.1%
- Intervention effect Manure application increased water holding capacity by 13.3–30.3%
- Intervention effect Application of TB and PM increased stem height of cassava by 34.3–60%
- Intervention effect Application of TB and PM increased stem diameter of cassava by 17.4–30.4%
- Intervention effect Application of TB and PM increased canopy diameter of cassava by 19.7–32.7%
- Intervention effect Organic manures performed better than mineral fertilizer on cassava
- Intervention effect Organic manures increased aboveground dry biomass of cassava by 21.7–59.6%
- Intervention effect Organic manures increased fresh tuber yield of cassava by 76.6–112.2%
- Intervention effect Mineral fertilizer increased aboveground dry biomass of cassava by 23.2%
- Intervention effect Mineral fertilizer increased fresh tuber yield of cassava by 68.5%
- Intervention effect The mixture of TB and PM applied at 10 t ha−1 each gave the best fresh tuber yield of cassava (51.78 t ha−1)
- Recommendation Fresh biomass of Tithonia diversifolia and poultry manure can be used to improve cassava production in the humid forest zone of Southern Cameroon
