Combined application of ammonium nitrate and goat manure: Effects on soil nutrients availability, Okra performance and sustainable food security

Abstract: Many see organic agriculture as the most sustainable form of farming and as the paradigm for global food production in the future. One of the solutions to food insecurity and malnutrition in Sub-Saharan Africa is to promote local crops, encourage the use of locally source materials as amendment, improve their traditional system of production, and so diversify subsistence crop. The major reasons are the lack of knowledge and skill in land preparation and agronomic practices, weather uncertainties, pest outbreak… Show more

“…Therefore, they suggested planting of okra with amendment of poultry manures was suitable under moderate intensity rainfall to avoid the reduction nutrients of nutrients and proximate content of vegetables. Goat manure had the liming effects providing highest values of soil K, Ca and Mg and supported the application of urea fertilizer which gave the highest plant height with combination dose 8 t ha −1 goat manures + 200 kg ha −1 [23].…”

“…Additionally, combined applications significantly increased the nutrient content and nutritional quality (proximate study) [55,68]. According to research by [65], when applied at 3t/ha to slightly acidic soil that is poor in OM, N, and P, sunlight organic (SOF) and organomineral fertilizers (SOM) significantly enhanced soil moisture, decreased temperature and bulk density, and elevated pH compared to NPK fertilizer and control. The percentages of N and Mg in garden eggplant leaves also dramatically rose.…”
