Aim: A study was conducted to evaluate supplementary effects of oil palm bunch ash (OPBA) and poultry manure (PM) on the growth and yield performance of mungbeans. Study Design:  The study used a 3 x 3 factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out at the University of Calabar Teaching and Research farm, Calabar, Nigeria during the 2014 and 2015 cropping seasons respectively Methodology: Mung bean variety NM 92 was planted in a well prepared field to evaluate its response to PM and OPBA applications. The treatments included three levels of OPBA (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1) and three levels of PM (0, 5 and 10 t ha-1. PM was cured and applied two weeks before planting while the OPBA was applied at planting.  Plant growth data including plant height, number of leaves, number of branches and leaf area were measured at 2,4, 6 weeks after planting whereas the yield data including days to fifty percent  flowering, number of pods, pod length , pod  and seed yield were recorded Results: The highest agronomic parameters as well as yield attributing characters and yield were obtained when 10 t ha-1 OPBA or 10 t ha-1 of PM were applied. Each of the levels of applications significantly decreased the number of days to 50% flowering. The highest seed yields of 0.77 t ha-1 in 2014 and 0.82 t ha-1 in 2015 were obtained with the applications of 5 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM and 10 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM, respectively. Conclusion: The best agronomic, yield attributing characters and yield of mungbeans were obtained when 10 t ha-1 OPBA or 10 t ha-1 of PM were applied. Also the combined application of 5 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM or 10 t ha-1 OPBA + 10 t ha-1 PM gave significantly higher increment in yield. Hence, from our study, it was found that both organic matter sources may be used to obtain higher yields in mungbeans.

An investigation to evaluate the effect of Oil Palm Bunch Ash on Meloidogyne incognita infections on soybean (Glycine max) was carried out at the Research and Teaching Farm of the Federal College of Agriculture Ishiagu, Ebonyi State, Nigeria, in 2012 and 2013 cropping seasons. The treatment was Oil Palm Bunch Ash at different levels, (control, 5tons/ha, 8tons/ha and 11tons/ha) and was fitted into a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data collected were averaged on plant height (cm), number of leaves, number of galled roots, and number of galls per root (gall index) and initial nematode population and final nematode population at harvest. The data were subjected to statistical analysis of variance. Results showed that Oil Palm Bunch as at 11tons/ha produced the greatest control for root-knot nematode by significantly (P0.05) reducing the number of galled root and galls per root at harvest (gall index). Results also revealed that nematode population was high in the control plots. The growth and yield parameters were significantly (P0.05) higher in the plots treated with 8tons/ha and 11tons/ha of Oil Palm Bunch Ash. It is therefore, recommended that oil palm bunch ash from 11tons/ha could be employed by farmers to suppress root-knot nematode in soybean field and increase soybean yield.

Utilization of organic material in crop farming is one of the methods to exploit the local wisdom in agricultural practice. The research was conducted from June to September 2012 in the research farm, State Islamic University of Sultan Syarif Kasim Riau. The objective of the research was to investigate the effects of organic materials and crop density ? in growth and yield on cucumber. Randomized block design with 2 factors and 4 replications was employed in this study. The first factor consists of three levels organic fertilizer treatments i.e. no fertilizer, poultry manure, and compost of oil palm empty bunch. Second factor comprises of three levels of crop density i.e. 1, 2, and 3 plants per pot).. The results showed that there was significant increase on growth and yield on cucumber with poultry manure treatment compare to that of with compost of oil palm empty bunch. Increasing crop density ? improves the number and weight of cucumber yield per pot, even though, some parameters, i.e. number of leaves, stem diameter, crop dry weight, productive number of branches, cucumber size and cucumber weight per plant were significantly decreased.

Field trials were conducted at the University Orchard Aliero, Kebbi state University of Science and Technology Aliero, during the 2017 and 2018 dry seasons, to study the  growth and yield of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) varieties influenced by sole and combined application of NPK (15:15:15) and Poultry manure. The treatments consisted of a factorial combination of three Okra varieties: LD88, NHAE47-4 and Dogo; and three level of nutrients: 800 kg NPK (15:15:15) ha-1, 100%PM ha-1 equivalent to 6.6 t ha-1 and 50% NPK+50% PM ha-1 (400 kg of NPK [15:15:15] + 3.3 t of PM ha-1) and the untreated control, each designed to supply the recommended dose of 120 kg N ha-1 using a compound fertilizer NPK (15:15:15) and poultry manure and cow dung. Results revealed that plant height, number of leaves, number of pods per plant, mean pod weight (g), mean pod length (cm), fruit yield per hectare were significantly increased when the recommended N dose of 120 kg N ha-1 was applied using only NPK (800 kg NPK [15:15:15 ha-1]) or a combination of NPK+PM at 50:50 ratio in conjunction with variety NHAE47-4. Based on the results of this study, it could be concluded that the integration of organic and inorganic fertilizers in form of NPK fertilizer and poultry manure at 50:50 ratio in conjunction with variety NHAE47-4, could be adopted for higher pod yield.

The growth and yield of cucumber in response to the effect of poultry manure and inorganic fertilizer (NPK 20:10:10) was evaluated at the Teaching and Research farm of Kogi State University Anyigba, Nigeria during the 2021 raining season. Treatment consisted of poultry manure which was applied at 0, 7.5 and 15t/ha and inorganic fertilizer (NPK 20:10:10), applied at the rate of 0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6t/ha respectively. The experiment was laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates following all agronomic practices as recommended. Combined rates of poultry manure at 15t/ha and 0.6t/ha of fertilizer were found to significantly increased (P≤0.05) growth characters such as number of leaves, vine length at 4, 6 and 8WAS. Longest vines of 602.75cm and 213.75leaves was obtained with combined application of 15t/ha PM + 0.6t/ha NPK fertilizer at 8WAS respectively. Similarly, Fruit length, Number of fruits, Fruit weight/plant, Fruit yield/ha were significantly influenced (P≤0.05) by the combined application of 15t/ha PM + 0.4t/ha NPK, while the control plots consistently gave the least yield across sampling periods.

A study was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Boro season of 2014 to evaluate the effect of integrated use of manures and fertilizers for maximizing the growth and yield of BRRI dhan28. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with six treatments and four replications. The treatments include T0 [Control], T1 [Soil Test Basis-Chemical Fertilizer], T2 [(Cowdung) + STB-CF] on IPNS basis, T3 [(Poultry Manure) + STB-CF] on IPNS basis, T4 [(Compost) + STB-CF] on IPNS basis, and T5 [Farmer’s practice]. The maximum grain yield of 4340 kg ha-1 (95.59% increase over control) and straw yield of 4024 kg ha-1 (56.42% increase over control) were recorded in T3 [ (PM) + STB-CF]. The lowest grain and straw yields were found for T0 (Control) treatment. The N, P, K and S contents and uptake by BRRI dhan28 were profoundly influenced due to combined application of manures and fertilizers. The performance of the treatment T3 was better than T1, T2 and T4 in producing the yield of grain and straw of BRRI dhan28 although they received the same amount of nutrients. The results indicate that application of fertilizers in combination with poultry manure could be considered more effective in rice production. So, the treatment T3 can be used for the successful cultivation of BRRI dhan28.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(1): 99-104, April 2016

Background: Sesamum indicum L. is a tropical and subtropical plant cultivated for seed purpose, which yields about 50% high quality edible oil with 65% of the seeds being used for oil extraction and 35% for consumption purpose. The seeds have outstanding amounts of oil and consists of extensive root system that makes it very tolerant of drought.Methods: A field experiment entitled “Effect of planting density and Integrated Nutrient Management in sesame” was carried out at the Agronomy Research Farm of School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Nagaland University, Medziphema campus, during Kharif season of 2017-18. Nine treatment combinations consisting of three level of planting density i.e., T1- (20cm x 10cm), T2 (30cm x 10cm) and T3 (40cm x 10cm) along with three levels of nutrient management practices i.e., N1 (100% RDF), N2 (75% RDF + 25% FYM) and N3 (75% RDF + 25% poultry manure) were tried in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Conclusion: Among the different planting density and nutrient management practices, combined effect of 20cm x 10cm planting density with 75% RDF + 25% FYM nutrient recorded highest growth attributes viz., plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1 and yield attributes viz., number of capsules plant-1, seed yield (kg ha-1) and stover yield (kg ha-1). However, the highest net return (₹16687.66) and B:C ratio (1.13) was obtained from the treatment combination of 40cm x 10cm planting density along with combination of 75% RDF + 25% poultry manure. Hence, the combined application of manures with inorganic source of nutrients with reduced planting density recorded higher growth and yield attributes thereby resulting higher economic return than the application of RDF alone.
