EFFECT OF POULTRY WASTE AND PIG WASTE OBTAINED FROM IKONO LIVESTOCK FARM ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.
Abstract
The study on the effect of poultry waste and pig waste on the growth and yield of Phaseolus vulgaris was conducted at the Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic Botanical Garden. 3 beds each were made and 3 seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris were planted with not less than 10 stands making a total of 30 stands. The following treatments were applied on each of the beds as follows: bed 1 was poultry waste, bed 2 was pig waste and bed 3 was control. After two weeks of germination, these treatments were applied exception of control bed. The result of the parameter for mean length of plant was highest in poultry waste with mean value of 84.79 + 2.176 cm, followed by pig waste with mean value of 82.73 + 2.921 cm and the least was the control (without manure) with mean value of 81.55 + 4.29 cm. Data analysis shows no significant difference at (p
