Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Maize growth was significantly affected by enrichment of the organic manures.
- Intervention effect Plants treated with fortified poultry manure were comparable in height with inorganic fertilizer application.
- Intervention effect Fertilization reduced the number of days to 50% tasselling.
- Intervention effect Fortified poultry manure gave a higher average seed yield of 3.97 t/ha than inorganic fertilizer.
- Observation Fortified Pacesetter fertilizer gave an average seed yield of 3.78 t/ha.
- Intervention effect Unfertilized maize plants gave a significantly lower seed yield of 2.48 t/ha than inorganic fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Maize growth and yield from enriched organic manures were comparable with inorganic fertilizer.
- Intervention effect Both organic manures increased soil N and P.
- Intervention effect Poultry manure gave higher soil N and P values than cow dung.
- Intervention effect Cow dung increased soil K, Ca and Mg contents more than poultry manure.
- Recommendation Fortified poultry manure at 2.5 t/ha is recommended to cultivate maize.
