Effects of Poultry Manure, Kitchen Waste Compost and NPK Fertilizer on Growth and Yield of Ladies Finger

Abstract: There were six treatments-control (no fertilizer/poultry manure/compost), full NPK @ 120 kg N ha-1 , 60 kg P ha-1 and 80 kg K ha-1 , full poultry manure (PM) @ 30 ton ha-1 , 50% NPK+ 50% PM, full kitchen waste compost @ 30 ton ha-1 , and 50% NPK+ 50% compost. The treatments were arranged in randomized block design with three replications. The data collected were number of leaves, plant height, fruit length, fruit circumference, number of fruits and fruit yield. The results showed that full NPK fertilizer did n… Show more

“…In the present study, the highest yield (16.40 ton ha-1) was obtained when 50% poultry manure was applied in combination with 50% NPK fertilizers. In agreement with Kibria et al [20], application of 50% NPK+50 PM proved most effective in ensuring good performance in terms of growth and fresh fruit yield of ladies finger in the present study. Kibria et al [20] found that fresh fruit yield of ladies finger with application of full poultry manure @30 ton ha -1 and 50% NPK+50% PM (full NPK @120 kg N, 60 kg P and 80 Kg K ha-1) were statistically similar but significantly higher than that with the control and full kitchen compost (@ 30 ton ha -1 and 50% NPK+ 50% compost.…”

“…Application of biogas residue increased the average leaf area as in the case of T2, but average leaf area was decreased at higher application of residue as in T3, indicating that T3 might have had an inhibiting effect due to the high N level of biogas residue. The finding is in agreement with Kibria et al [35], whom wrote that the application of 50% NPK+50 PM proved most effective in ensuring good performance in terms of growth and fresh fruit yield of ladies finger. Olaniyi et al [36] reported a similar trend, that growth of okra (ladies finger) plant was markedly influenced by the application of organominerals, NPK fertilizer and their combination as observed from the increased plant height and number of leaves compared to control.…”

“…Inferior results were obtained in T 3 (waste of poultry at the rate of 5 ton/ha) when linked by all other treatments. Kibria et al (2013) observed that joined usage of poultry manure waste plus chemical fertilizer not only increased yield but also plant growth. The integration of poultry manure with inorganic source also improves the availability of nutrient to maize and its use efficiency (Ayeni and Adetunji, 2010).…”
