- Effect Of Liquid Poultry Manure Versus Ammonium Nitrate As Top Dressing Fertilizers On Growth Performance, Disease Incidences And Yield Of Maize Variety Sc403
- Abstract
- Maize (Zea mays) is of high important paramount and it has been grown worldwide, it is more vital to both human and animal consumption. It is mostly considered as a staple food in Zimbabwe and also an industrial material for confectionery purposes like the production of maputi. It is reach in many nutrients that are vital for health issues like carbohydrates, fats, proteins, etc. The research was done in Zimbabwe Mashonaland Central in Mt Darwin a district that is found in ecological region four in Dotito. It took place under a complete random block design on four blocks. The task was based on the aspect of comparing the effect of ammonium nitrate versus liquid poultry manure as top dressing fertilizer on maize SC403 regarding to growth rate, disease incidences, quality and final yield to the maize small holder farmers. Just after planting, the agronomic practices took place which involved weed control, fertilization, scouting, etc. Some of the parameters were put into consideration and get recorded which comprised of plant height, pest and disease incidences, grain quality and final yield. The data had been analyzed using the Gen Stat Statistical Analytical tool for the analysis of the variance.
