Abstract
A field experiment comparing the effects of cow dung, chicken droppings, and a mixture of both on the germination and growth parameters of maize (Zea mays) was conducted at the Botanical Garden, University of Maiduguri, located in the North-Eastern region of Nigeria. Treatments were arranged in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The variables assessed included the number of germinated seedlings, plant height, number of leaves, and plant diameter. Data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and mean values were separated using the LSD test at a significance level of five percent. The results revealed that the application of organic manures, particularly chicken droppings (14.00), positively influenced maize germination and performance compared to N.P.K (2.00) treatments. Specifically, plots treated with chicken droppings exhibited the highest number of leaves (5.33), tallest plant height (49.17), and largest plant diameter (3.97) per plant. These findings suggest that chicken droppings have the potential to enhance the growth parameters of maize.
This study evaluated the effects of banana peel liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) and chicken manure on the growth and yield components of soybean (Glycine max L.) cultivated in Andisol soil. The experiment was conducted from December 2020 to April 2021 at the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas...
