“…The positive response of tea plants to the application of the organic materials attests to the fact that when soil is amended with organic fertilizers in form of farm wastes, the soil nutrient status and the availability of such nutrients for crop use are enhanced. This corroborates [36,10,13,14] who submitted that organic manures increased the growth and yield of water melon and tea.…”

“…Cultivar 143 was significantly ((P=.05)) superior to 318 in their number of branches ( The superior branch initiation in C143 might be due to its genetic and morphological characteristics. It has been previously adjudged as more vigorous in growth than C318 [34,35] The positive response of tea plants to the application of the organic materials attests to the fact that organic fertilizers in form of farm wastes enhances the availability of plant nutrients for crop use [36,10,13,14].…”

“…Application of organic fertilizers in crop production has produced a lot of outstanding results. Apart from being safe to handle [9], organic fertilizers have been rated high in promoting crop growth, improving soil physical, chemical and biological properties, releasing plant nutrients slowly to meet tea plant nutritional needs and enhancing tea yield [10,11,12,13,14,15]. The yield of tea was enhanced when grown under organic fertilizers in China [14] and on Mambilla highland [16].…”

Aims: To assess the field establishment of two tea cultivars under Cocoa Pod Husk (CPH) and Poultry Manure (PM). Study Design: Randomized complete block design arranged in Split-plots (cultivars as main plots and organic amendments as sub-plots) with four replications. Place and Duration of Study: Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria stations in Ibadan and Owena, Southwest Nigeria between May 2016 and November 2017 (Rainy and dry seasons of 2016; Rainy season of 2017). Methodology: Milled CPH and cured PM were applied each at the rates of 150 and 300 kg Nha-1 to established C143 and C318 tea cultivars on the field; unfertilized tea cultivars served as control. Data on number of leaves, number of branches, leaf area, plant height and stem diameter were collected on monthly basis; while dry matter was assessed at 15 months after transplanting. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and correlation at α.05. Results: The C143 performed better than C318 and 150 kg Nha-1 of CPH and PM enhanced the vegetative growth and dry matter of tea better than 300 kg Nha-1 in Ibadan and Owena. Cultivar 143 was significantly (P=0.05) better than cultivar 318 in number of leaves, number of branches and stem diameter in Ibadan; and in number of leaves and leaf area in Owena. CPH at 150 kg Nha-1 increased number of leaves, number of branches, leaf area, plant height and total dry matter by 135.11, 88.19, 346.12, 65.33 and 428.11% at Ibadan; and by 349.09, 245.41, 376.89, 80.89 and 231.49% at Owena, compared to control. On the interaction, tea cultivar 143 that received 150 kg Nha-1 CPH produced significantly (P=0.05) higher number of leaves, leaf area and total dry matter at Ibadan and Owena. Leaf area was positively correlated with number of leaves (r=0.87) in Ibadan and stem diameter (r=0.80) in Owena. Conclusion: CPH at 150 kg Nha-1 enhanced the growth and dry matter content of C143 tea established on the field in Ibadan and Owena, and is therefore recommended for tea cultivation in Southwest of Nigeria.
