Abstract
Experiment was conducted during raining season (June/July) at the Biological Sciences garden of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto, to determine the effect of different kinds of manure (neem litter, cow dung and poultry droppings) on the growth of Amaranthus viridis, Grown in polythene bags. The fertilizers (neem litter, Cowdung & poultry droppings) were applied at the rate of 1.5 g (gram) per polythene bag. The result showed that the plants fertilized with poultry droppings produced taller shoots and larger number of leaves, whereas the plants fertilized with neem litter, showed the lowest growth. The plants fertilized with cowdung were taller than plants fertilized with neem litter but smaller than plants fertilized with poultry droppings. Therefore based on this research it can be said that, poultry droppings may be used for high quality organic plant production.
