Abstract
An experiment was conducted in order to determine the level of chicken manure which best for the production and carrying capacity of Super-1 sorghum. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this experiment with four treatments as follow P0 = without chicken manure; P1 = 3,500 kg manure/ha; P2 = 4,500 kg manure/ha; P3 = 5,500 kg manure/ha, 5 repetitions each treatment, as a result it was obtained total of 20 experimental unit. There were 36 sorghum plants on each 6 m2 plot sized. Measurements taken were plants height (cm/plant), leaf number (leaves/plant), leaf length (cm/leaf/plant), fresh weight (gr/plant), dry weight (gr/plant) and carrying capacity (ha/AU/year). Sorghums were harvested on the day 110th. It was found in this experiment that the application of chicken manure gave a significant effect (P<0.05) on all measurements taken compared to that of all measurements taken in control. Application of chicken manure at level 5,500 kg per hectare gave the best results on all growth parameters and forage yields of Super 1 sorghum as well as its carrying capacity.
