Abstract
Organic materials bring many benefits to plant growth and yield performances in crop production. The objective of this study was to know the performance of maize plant from germination period to maturity period under sandy soil condition manage with different organic materials, on weekly basis. The experiment was initiated under poor sandy-soil site, just 5 km away from the Argungu town, Kebbi State Nigeria, located within latitude 12° 24N and longitude 4° '12E. The study confirms the assumption that crop plant is very likely to perform better under poor sandy-soil condition if sustainable management requirements are provided. Plant growth and yield performances were observed positively well in the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, seven and tenth week after germination. It is concluded that sandy soil managed with organic materials provides good soil atmosphere for maize plant growth in crop production. Likewise, the results suggested that crop grown under sandy soil managed with organic materials perform better in term of plant growth and yield performances.
