Claim · model-written summary
Substrate combinations containing cattle manure significantly outperformed manure-free substrates in growth and nutrient accumulation.
Verbatim
e0“This study evaluated the effects of sustainable substrate compositions and biological fertilizers on seedling growth and nutrient accumulation under greenhouse nursery conditions”
e1“such as African mahogany ( Khaya ivorensis ), which is widely cultivated due to its rapid growth”
e2“Substrate combinations containing cattle manure significantly outperformed manure-free substrates”
e3“with Soil + Sand + Manure (1:1:1) and Soil + Manure (1:1) consistently producing the highest growth parameter and nutrient accumulation values”

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Intervention effect Soil + Sand + Manure (1:1:1) and Soil + Manure (1:1) substrates gave the highest growth and nutrient accumulation values.
- Intervention effect Biological fertilizer further enhanced nutrient accumulation of the seedlings.
- Association Effects of biological fertilizer were independent of substrate composition.
- Recommendation Substrates enriched with cattle manure, with or without biological fertilizer, are an effective and sustainable strategy for nursery production of K. ivorensis (author interpretation).
