“…It is followed by the Poultry Manure which were (216.67 g) and then DAP (205.33) while the minimum grain yield was recorded in control (148.33 g). Our results are in accordance with the findings of [17] and [10]. Furthermore, [10] elaborated that application of poultry manure also make phosphorus available for the maize crop which ultimately positively influence grain filling rate.…”

“…Out of the total production of maize twothird is used for livestock feed or for commercial starch and oil extraction [10]. The maize grain have a nutritious value which is protein (10.4%), fats (4.5%), starches (71.8%), vitamins and minerals like calcium, phosphorous and Sulphur [9].…”

“…In contrast to chemical fertilizer, it adds organic matter to soil which improves soil structures, nutrient retention, aeration, soil moisture holding capacity and water infiltration [6]. Poultry manure supplies sufficient amount of phosphorus to plants than other organic manure sources [10]. The foregoing review showed that synthetic fertilization degrades soil organic matter with time due to its preferable application.…”

Abstract:Organic manure is a commendable organic fertilizer, as it contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other essential nutrients. The most important factors responsible for low yield are inappropriate crop nutrition management and poor soil fertility. The field experiment was performed to evaluate the impact of different fertilizer (organic and inorganic) on yield and yield components of maize at Agriculture Research Station Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during summer season 2014. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated three times. Data was recorded on seven quantitative traits i.e. days to tasseling, plant height (cm), leaf area, number of grains cob -1 , biological yield (kg ha -1 ), 1000-grain weight (g) and grain yield (kg ha -1 ). All treatments were significantly affected by the applied treatments with the exception of days to tasseling. The treatment poultry manure gave maximum leaf area whereas minimum leaf area was obtained in control. Maximum plant height (cm), number of grains cob -1 , 1000-grain weight (g), biological yield (kg ha -1 ), and grain yield (kg ha -1 ) was obtained in compost applied treatment followed by poultry manure. Whereas minimum plant height (cm), grains cob -1 , biological yield (kg ha -1 ), 1000-grain weight (g) and grain yield (kg ha -1 ) was obtained in control. The results depicted that organic fertilizer gave excellent response for yield and its related traits of maize crop as compared to inorganic fertilizer.

“…The addition of organic manures with inorganic phosphate fertilizer was led to increasing the availability and solubility of applied phosphate in the soil and improving the soil productivity (Agbenin and Igbokwe, 2006). Also, (Garg and Bahl 2008) reported that the addition of organic manures to soil increased Olsen P due to the mineralization of organic manures. Thiobacillus bacteria contribute in the biological oxidation of sulfur producing sulphuric acid which leads to dissolving phosphorus from rock phosphate (Bhatti and Yawar, 2010).…”

“…Duration of flower in the field was improved through using organic fertilizer. Poultry manure is an excellent organic fertilizer, as it contains high nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other essential nutrients [9]. Vermicompost has been shown to have high levels of total and available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, micronutrients, microbial and enzyme activities and growth regulators [10].…”

An experiment was conducted to determine the appropriate dose and combination of organic and chemical fertilizers and to assess the effect of bio-control agent (Trichoderma) on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L. cv. Single), including stem length, rachis length, spike length, floret number, flower yield, flower durability, number of bulb etc. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications having eight treatments as follows: T 1 = Farmyard manure (5 t/ha) + ¼ RDF, T 2 = Poultry refuse (5 t/ha) + ¼ RDF, T 3 = Bokashi (3 t/ha) + ¼ RDF, T 4 = Mustard oil cake (500 kg/ha) + ¼ RDF, T 5 = Vermicompost (5 t/ha) + ¼ RDF, T 6 = Tricho-compost (3 t/ha) + ¼ RDF, T 7 = Tricho-leachate (3000 L/ha ) + ¼ RDF and T 8 = Control (Recommended doses of fertilizer) (N 150 P 45 K 88 S 10 B 1 Zn 1 kg/ha). Maximum growth, yield and yield contributing characters were recorded in T 6 = Tricho-compost (3 t/ha) + ¼ RDF which were statistically superior to other treatments. Maximum plants emergence (93.3%) recorded in T 6 (Tricho-compost + ¼ RDF). In case of plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant spread, days to flowering, number of florets, flower yield, bulb production, T 6 = Tricho-compost (3 t/ha) + ¼ RDF gave superior results over control (Recommended doses of fertilizer). The data obtained from the experiment showed that Tricho-compost with fertilizer enhanced qualitative and quantitative characters of tuberose flowers.
