Effect of Cowdung and Poultry Compost on the Physical and Chemical Properties of an Alfisol Soil in a Forest Ecology

Author(s):

Bukola Aina

Application of compost to agricultural fields is a widely used method of increasing soil organic matter and fertility. Cowdung and poultry droppings were separately collected and composted for three months. The composts were applied singly and in-combination to a typical alfisol soil when maize was the test crop with a view to determining the effect of these compost applications on soil properties. This was a field experiment carried out in early and late cropping season of 2014. The experiment consisted of seven treatments; namely, 100% cowdung compost (CD), 100% poultry compost (PT), 50% CD + 50% PT, each at 3 and 6 t ha-1 and zero compost application served as control. The experiment was a randomized complete block design and each treatment p... view moreĀ»
