The application of organic mulch and chicken manure for improving soil water availability and yield of turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val) in an Inceptisol of Jambi, Indonesia

Turmeric (Curcuma domestica Val) is one of the agricultural commodities being developed by the Jambi Province of Indonesia. However, despite the high value of turmeric, its productivity in Jambi Province is low. This is because the crop is mostly cultivated in marginal lands dominated by Inceptisol, which has low fertility and low water availability. Organic mulch and chicken manure have the potential to be used to improve soil water availability and crop yield. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of organic mulch cover and chicken manure on soil water availability and turmeric yield. The treatments tested were combinations of various percentages of organic mulch cover (30%, 60%, and 90%, and chicken manure dosage (0, 5, 10, and 15 t ha-1). The twelve treatment combinations were arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. The results showed that the combination of the percentage of organic mulch cover and chicken manure dosage affected soil organic matter content, soil bulk density, soil pore size distribution, soil water availability, and turmeric yield. The application of 30% cover of organic mulch and 10 t ha-1 of chicken manure was found to be the best combination to improve soil available water and turmeric yield. The regression analysis results showed that soil bulk density, organic carbon, fast-drainage pores, and slow-drainage pores simultaneously affected the soil water content, with an R2 value of 0.85. The results of this study proved that soil available water is also closely correlated with turmeric yield.

APLIKASI BAHAN ORGANIK AMPAS TEH DAN KOTORAN AYAM TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL TANAMAN CABAI RAWIT (Capsicum frutescens L.)

The study aimed to determine the effect of the application of organic matter tea waste and chicken manure on the growth and yield of cayenne pepper plants. The research was carried out from March to May 2024 at Lontar Baru, Kec. Serang-Banten. This study used a Randomized Group Design (RGD) with 2 levels and 3 replications. The first factor was organic matter tea waste with doses of 0 t/ha (equivalent to 0 g/polybag), 2 t/ha (equivalent to 19 g/polybag), 4 t/ha (equivalent to 39 g/polybag), and 6 t/ha (equivalent to 58 g/polybag), while the second factor was organic matter chicken manure with doses of 0 t/ha (equivalent to 0 g/polybag), 8 t/ha (equivalent to 77 g/polybag), and 12 t/ha (equivalent to 115 g/polybag). The results showed that the treatment of tea waste gave the best results in the parameters of the fruit number per plant and the fruit weight per plant. The treatment of chicken manure gave the best results in the parameters of plant height, number of leaves, time of the first flower, fruit number per plant, and fruit weight per plant. There was an interaction between the treatment of organic matter tea waste and chicken manure in the parameters of the fruit number per plant. The treatment of tea waste at 6 t/ha (58 g/polybag) gave the best results in the generative phase of cayenne pepper plants. The treatment of chicken manure at 12 t/ha (115 g/polybag) gave the best results in the growth and yield of cayenne pepper plants.

Short-Term Effect of the Combined Application of Rice Husk Biochar and Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Radish Growth and Nitrogen Use Efficiency.

Research on soil biochar fertilization has mainly been conducted on cereal crops, and information on its potential for radish production remains inconsistent. Therefore, a pot experiment was conducted to examine the short-term effects of rice husk biochar on radish growth and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). An investigation was conducted with two application rates of biochar alone, (10 t ha-1 (B10) and 25 t ha-1 (B25), and biochar + chicken manure application with and without NPK fertilizer. The results indicated that the application of biochar 25 t ha-1 + chicken manure (B25:CHM) and the combination of biochar 25 t ha-1 + chicken manure + NPK fertilizer (B25:CHM:NPK) significantly increased root yield by improving NUE, fertilizer recovery efficiency (REN), agronomic efficiency (AE), nitrogen harvest index (NHI), and retaining soil NH4+-N. Although biochar application alone did not significantly influence radish growth on a short-term basis, B10 and B25 increased root yields by 10% and 20%, respectively, compared with the control. Notably, the role of biochar application when combined with organic and inorganic fertilizers was to retain fertilizer N and promote N uptake efficiency by radishes, as higher rates of biochar resulted in higher NUE. Our results suggest that B25:CHM is a suitable combination for organic farming.

The Potential of Providing Chicken Manure in Improving Soil Health in Dry Lands

Despite having a considerable potential area, the optimal utilization of dry land is challenging due to the generally low soil moisture content and fertility of dry land in Indonesia. This is evidenced by the intrinsically low organic matter content in dryland soils. Therefore, this article aims to provide information on the potential application of chicken manure to enhance soil fertility and health or to rehabilitate suboptimal dry lands in Indonesia. The methodology used in this article is qualitative, based on a literature review. One approach to improving the condition of dry land in Indonesia is the application of chicken manure, which acts as a soil conditioner and enhances overall soil fertility and health. The results of the study indicate that using chicken manure on dry land can increase crop production, thereby positively correlating with the profits of dry-land farmers.

The Effect of Manure Application Rates on the Vertical Distribution of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Farmland Soil

Manure application is the primary input route for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in farmland soil. This study investigated the effects of varying the rates of five chicken manure applications on the accumulation and distribution of ARGs across different soil depths (0–20, 20–40, and 40–60 cm) using metagenomic sequencing. The results revealed that the distribution of ARGs in farmland soil was closely linked to soil depth and influenced to some extent by the fertilizer quantity after 30 days of fertilization. ARGs were predominantly concentrated in the surface soil and exhibited a significant decrease in type and abundance with an increased soil depth. Compared with soil treated with chemical fertilizers alone, chicken manure-treated surface soil presented a higher diversity and abundance of ARGs. However, the diversity and abundance of ARGs did not increase proportionally with the increasing ratios of chicken manure application (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%). ARGs in soil primarily conferred resistance to host bacteria through antibiotic efflux pumps (~33%), antibiotic target alteration (~31%), antibiotic inactivation (~20%), and antibiotic target protection (~8%). Correlation analysis involving ARGs and soil microorganisms revealed widespread multidrug resistance among soil microorganisms. Furthermore, two genera of human pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas sp. and Listeria sp.) were identified as potential microbial hosts of ARGs in all treatments. Correlation analysis involving ARGs and environmental factors indicated that soil ARGs are predominantly influenced by heavy metals and microorganisms. This paper offers valuable insights for environmental risk assessments regarding the utilization of livestock manure resources. Additionally, it furnishes a scientific foundation for farmland application strategies pertaining to livestock manure.

Growth and yield response of maize to integrated nutrient management of chicken manure and inorganic fertilizer in different agroecological zones

The productivity of maize, an essential staple food crop in Africa, is severely constrained by the declining fertility of the soil. The combined use of organic and inorganic fertilizers could ameliorate this challenge in a sustainable way to boost maize productivity. Two field trials were conducted at Ashanti -Mampong and Damongo, in the transitional and Guinea Savannah agroecologies of Ghana respectively, to assess the influence of sole and integrated application of chicken manure and NPK fertilizer on the growth and yield of maize. The treatments included two maize varieties; Abontem and Obatanpa, and five fertilizer rates; 3 t/ha chicken manure (CM), NPK (65:38:38 kg ha−1 NPK), ½ CM + ½ NPK and ¾ CM + ¼ NPK and control (no fertilizer). A 2 x 5 factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Significant variations (p < 0.05) were revealed between varieties, fertilizer types and their interaction effects for phenological, growth and yield of maize in both locations. The superiority of the integrated application of NPK and chicken manure was also visible in the vegetative parameters such as plant height, number of leaves and shoot dry weight of the maize plants given them the comparative advantage to assimilate more photosynthates for partitioning to the ears and grains. Obatanpa treated with ½ CM + ½ NPK produced the highest yield of 4661.1 kg ha−1, which was 29.6 and 29.9 % higher than the same variety grown on sole NPK and sole chicken manure, respectively at Damongo. Abontem treated with ¾ CM + ¼ NPK recorded a grain yield of 4479.3 kg ha−1, 11.7 % higher than the sole NPK and 10.3 % higher than the sole CM at Damongo. Similarly, Obatanpa grown on the ½ CM + ½ NPK recorded the highest grain yield of 4349.3 kg ha−1at Mampong followed by Abontem treated with the sole NPK (4267.1 kg ha−1). Sole NPK and the combined application of NPK and chicken manure gave comparable responses for vegetative traits while the integrated application proved superior for grain yield of maize across the two agroecologies.

The aims of this research was to determine the impact of chicken manure and P fertilizer on the development and production of cauliflower. This research was done from February to April 2023 in Pakis, Magelang This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) which includes 2 factors. Factor A uses chicken manure with a measurement of 3 types, such as 200 g, 400 g, 600 g. Factor B uses P fertilizer with a dose of 3 types, such as 20 g, 30 g, 40 g. Each treatment combination was repeated 3 times. The research data using a real level analysis of 5%. If there is a significant difference in the treatment, it will be held using the Duncan Multiple Range Test. The results of the study explained that there was an interaction in the dose of chicken manure with P fertilizer on the parameters of flower circle. The best treatment combination for flower circle parameters was 400g of chicken manure and 40g of P fertilizer. The application of chicken manure with doses of 200g, 400g, and 600g produced a similar effect on the development and production of cauliflower. The application of P fertilizer at a doses of 20g, 30g, 40g have produced the same a similar effect on the growth and yield of cauliflower.

Response of Pakcoy Plant Growth and Production to the Application of Poc and Manure

Pakcoy (Brassica rapa L.) is a type of vegetable plant is used by people in various dishes because it contains minerals, protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, copper, magnesium, iron, carbohydrates and fiber.This research aims to see the effect of giving POC and chicken manure on the growth and production of pakcoy plants. This research was carried out using a factorial Randomized Block Design (RAK) which consisted of two factors, namely the concentration of chicken manure which consisted of 3 levels, namely A0 = 0 kg / plot, A1 = 1 kg / plot, A2 = 2 kg / plot, and A3 = 3 kg / plot. The second factor is the POC dose which consists of 4 levels, namely. E1=10 ml/liter water/m2, E2= 20 ml/liter water/m2 and E3=30 ml/liter water/m2. The results showed that the application of chicken manure had no significant effect on the number of leaves, wet harvest weight per plot, wet harvest weight per hectare, wet sale weight per hectare. The interaction between giving chicken manure and POC had a significant effect on the number of leaves, wet weight of harvest per plot, wet weight of harvest per hectare, wet weight of sale per hectare.

Effects of Application of Different Organic Materials on Phosphorus Accumulation and Transformation in Vegetable Fields

Presently, the improvement of soil organic matter is the basis to ensure food security, but the accumulation and transformation characteristics of soil phosphorus (P) as affected by organic matter remain unclear. The accumulation, transformation, and migration characteristics of soil P in different soil layers of vegetable fields were researched under the application of organic materials. Six treatments were set up in the experiment:control (no fertilization), traditional fertilizer application by farmers, biochar, chicken manure, food waste, and straw application. Available phosphorus (Olsen-P), water-soluble phosphorus (CaCl2-P) content, soil phosphorus forms, soil organic matter (SOM), and pH were determined during the pepper harvest period. In the 0-5 cm and 5-10 cm soil layers, the available phosphorus content of traditional fertilization of farmers was higher, and the available phosphorus content of the four organic materials was in the order of straw &gt; biochar &gt; chicken manure &gt; food waste. Compared to that with food waste, the straw and biochar treatments increased soil available phosphorus by 59.6%-67.3% and 29.1%-36.9%, respectively. The straw treatment could easily enhance the soil labile P pool, and soil labile P in the 0-5 cm soil layer increased by 47.3% and 35.1% compared with that under the chicken manure and food waste treatments, respectively. With the increase in soil depth, the proportion of available phosphorus in the chicken manure treatment decreased the least, and available phosphorus of the 20-30 cm soil layer accounted for 55.9% of the topsoil layer but only accounted for 16.0%-34.0% under treatment with the other three materials. Compared with that under the traditional fertilization of farmers, the pH significantly increased by 0.18-0.36 units after the application of organic fertilizer, and the pH of the chicken manure and food waste treatments was significantly higher than that of biochar and straw (P &lt; 0.05). SOM content under the biochar treatment significantly increased by 7.7%-17.6% compared to that under the other three organic materials. Among the four organic materials, the straw treatment boosted the labile P pool the most, which was conducive to the rapid increase in plant-available P. Phosphorus was most likely to migrate downward under the chicken manure treatment. In the field management based on soil fertility enhancement, the application of biochar could not only improve soil pH and SOM but also avoid excessive accumulation of phosphorus in the surface layer, which decreases environmental risks.

Impacts of High-Frequency Chicken Manure Biochar Application on N2O and CH4 Emissions from Vegetable Field in Subtropical China

Vegetable production in Subtropical China is distinguished by excessive nitrogen (N) fertilization, frequent irrigation, and multiple crop rotations in a single year. The aforementioned variables are closely related to soil nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) emissions. Hence, we conducted a field trial to measure N2O and CH4 emissions using static chamber–gas chromatograph. Four treatments were used: control (CK) with no fertilizer, 100% chemical N fertilization (CN), the conventional 30% chicken manure N plus 70%CN (CMN + CN), and 30% chicken manure biochar N plus 70%CN (CMBN + CN). The annual cumulative N2O emissions reached 12.4, 63.5, 111.8, and 44.1 kg N2O-N ha−1 for the CK, CN, CMN + CN, and CMBN + CN treatments, respectively. Compared to the CN and CMN + CN treatments, the CMBN + CN treatment reduced N2O emissions by 35.9%–65.7%, while it simultaneously increased the total vegetable yield by 16.1% compared to the CN treatment. Seven seasons mean N2O emission factors are 1.3% for CN, 3.8% for CMN + CN, and 0.9% for CMBN + CN. The CH4 emission was negligible, ranging from 0.07 kg CH4-C ha−1 for the CK treatment to 0.8 kg CH4-C ha−1 for the CN treatment. N2O emissions peaked under the conditions of an interior chamber temperature of around 31.9 °C and the water-filled pore space (WFPS) of the soil being approximately 60%. Future climate change will intensify, triggering higher N2O emissions from subtropical vegetable fields. CMB can be one of the best substitutes for direct chicken manure application as a soil supplement because it has a beneficial effect on improving vegetable yield and reducing N2O emissions in Subtropical China.

Soil Fertility and Bacterial Community Composition in Response to the Composting of Biochar-Amended Chicken Manure

Amidst the burgeoning expanse of the poultry sector, the escalation of chicken manure production has ensued, potentially exacerbating ecological contamination. However, the application of chicken manure is bound to transmute the habitat of edaphic microorganisms, precipitating an alteration in the soil’s microbial consortium. The composting of biochar-amended chicken manure and wood chips (biochar composting products, BCPs) was used to improve Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L.) production and regulate soil properties and bacterial community structure. On the 40th day of Chinese cabbage growth, soil and Chinese cabbage were collected for laboratory analysis. The effects of different proportions of BCPs (0, 1%, 3%, 5% and 7% biochar) on soil fertility, enzyme activity, the microbial community and the growth of Chinese cabbage were studied under facility conditions. The results showed that the growth performance and quality of Chinese cabbage were significantly increased with increasing BCP ratios. Soil fertility indicators including pH, AN, AP, AK and SOM were significantly increased, except for the pH value in the 1% BCP group. The activities of phosphatase, catalase and urease were increased for all groups of BCP treatment. The soil microbial community response was significantly different, and the application of 5% and 7% BCPs reduced the abundance, diversity and evenness of soil bacteria. Chinese cabbage growth performance was positively correlated with an increase in BCP supplemental levels in the range of 3–5%. Also, the abundance, diversity and uniformity of the soil microbial community were improved in the 3% BCP treatment group. Therefore, the dominant bacterial phyla were Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteriota, Gemmatimonadota, Myxococcota, Bdellovibrionota and Firmicutes, especially the Bradyrhizobium of Proteobacteria. BCP treatment reduced the degradation of soil organic matter. In addition, it also improved the relative abundance of sequences associated with improving soil fertility. Collectively, these findings offer insights for the re-evaluation of application management strategies for BCP organic fertilizers.

Response in Growth Geronggang (Cratoxylon arborescens Vahl. Blume) Seddling by Giving Chicken Manure

One potential plant species for restoration in peat swamp forests is Cratoxylon arborescens. A well-managed nursery includes the application of chicken manure. This study aims to determine the effect and best dose of chicken manure fertilizer on the growth of Cratoxylon arborescens seedlings on peat planting media. This research used RAL (Completely Randomized Design) experimental method, which consisted of 4 treatments (P0 = control, P1 = 10% chicken manure + 90% peat, P2 = 30% chicken manure + 70% peat and P3 = 50% chicken manure + 50% peat) with 5 replications. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using variance analysis, followed by Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% level. The results showed that chicken manure had a significant effect on the growth of Cratoxylon arborescens seedlings, because it was able to increase fertility and nutrient availability, improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of peat. The most effective and best treatment for four-month-old Cratoxylon arborescens seedlings was P2 (30% chicken manure + 70% peat) with 100% survival percentage, average height increase of 14.39 cm, average diameter increase of 1.56 mm, dry weight of 7.41 g and seedling robustness of 8.35

Enhancing Leaf Flavonoid Production in Indian Camphorweed (Pluchea indica Less.) through the Provision of Chicken Manure

Indian camphorweed (Pluchea indica Less.) leaves exhibit antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities, indicating significant potential for the pharmaceutical industry. This research aimed to determine the optimal rates of chicken manure for enhancing leaf and total flavonoid production in Pluchea indica. The study took place at the IPB Experimental Station in Bogor, Indonesia,spanning from July to October 2023. A completely randomized block design with a single factor (chicken manure doses) was employed: 0, 2.5, 5, or 7.5 kg per plant. Each treatment comprised three replications, each consisting of 20 plants. The results revealed that the application of chicken manure at 2.5 kg per plant led to significantly taller plants, more leaves, and tertiary branches compared to the control group. Specifically, the 2.5 kg dosage significantly increased the nitrogen content of the 7th leaf and the potassium content of the 3rd leaf. Meanwhile, the application of 5 kg of chicken manure per plant significantly boosted phosphorus content in the 3rd and 7th leaves and potassium content in the 5th and 7th leaves. However, no significant differences were observed in total flavonoid and antioxidant activity across all leaf positions with chicken manure application. Plants receiving 5 kg of manure demonstrated the highest fresh leaf weight (81.64 g) and dry weight (38.27 g), which were significantly greater than those receiving 2.5 kg per plant or no manure. Despite these variations, flavonoid production per plant did not show a significant difference with manure application.

Pengaruh Kombinasi Pupuk Kandang Ayam dan Ekstrak Kompos Ampas Kopi terhadap Sifat Kimia Tanah Ultisol

Ultisol has problems such as soil acidity &lt;5.5, high Al saturation &gt;42%, low organic matter &lt;1.15%, low nutrients such as 0.14% N, P 5.80 ppm, and low base saturation &lt; 35%. Chicken manure is an organic material that alters soil pH and increases total N, total P, and P uptake. Coffee grounds can increase pH, N nutrients, organic matter, available P, prevent fungal growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of feeding chicken manure and coffee grounds compost extract in increasing pH, increasing N availability, decreasing exchangeable Al, and increasing P availability of Ultisol. The research method used was a one-factor Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Factors tested were chicken manure, coffee grounds compost extract, and a combination of the two up to five treatments. K0 = Control, no chicken manure and coffee grounds compost extract; K1 = Coffee grounds compost extract 4 kL ha-1; K2 = Chicken manure 2 tons ha-1; K3 = Chicken manure 2 tons ha-1 + coffee grounds compost extract 4 kL ha-1; K4 = Chicken manure 4 tons ha-1 + coffee grounds compost extract 8 kL ha-1. Each treatment was replicated four times for 20 experiments. The results showed that the application of chicken manure and coffee grounds compost extract decreased soil pH, and soil exchangeable Al and increased soil ammonium, nitrate and available P levels.

Pengaruh Pemberian Berbagai Macam Bahan Organik terhadap Ketersediaan Hara Nitrogen, Fosfor dan Kalium serta Serapan Nitrogen oleh Jagung (Zea mays L.) pada Tanah Ultisols

Ultisols distributes spreadly in Indonesia, but this soil has low fertility. Therefore, the application of organic matter (OM) is a common management to increase this soil fertility. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of different types of OM (originated from animals and plants) on the availability of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium as well as nitrogen uptake in maize in Ultisols. Soil with a mass of 5 kg without organic matter (control), with the application of chicken manure, cow manure, swallow manure, kirinyuh, babadotan, and kalopo manure were incubated in experimental pots for two weeks at 60% field capacity. After the completion of the incubation period, soil sub-sampling was carried out for the determination of available N, available P and exchangeable K. Furthermore, in each experimental pot, corn seeds were planted, and the observations of dried-weight of corn and nitrogen uptake in corn were observed in a vegetative phase. The results showed that the application of different types of organic matter increased soil pH, nitrate content, exchangeable K, plant dried-weight and plant nitrogen uptake. The content of ammonium and available P was not affected by OM addition. The results also showed that OM derived from animals resulted in higher increases in pH and exchangeable K than those derived from plants. However, OM derived from plants resulted in higher increases in nitrate, plant dry weight and better plant N uptake than OM from animal waste. The results of this study show that the application of OM results in increases in some soil chemical properties, in which the degree of increases in soil chemical characteristics is controlled by the OM origin.

The results showed that the application of chicken manure had a significant effect on the leaf width parameter (cm). The best results were obtained in the K2 treatment (40 g/polybag). The application of NPK 17:17:17 fertilizer had a very significant effect on plant height (cm), stem diameter (cm) and number of leaves (strands). The best results were obtained in the N1 treatment (5 g/polybag). There is no interaction between chicken manure and NPK fertilizer 17:17:17.

Response of Growth and Seed Yield of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.) to Chicken Manure and Banana Hump Liquid Organic Fertilizer Application

Mung bean is highly important legume crop in Indonesia. Attempts to improve the yield and quality of mung bean seeds can be done through improving the planting media by adding organic fertilizer. The objective of this study was to determine the response of growth and seeds production of mung bean due to chicken manure and banana hump organic fertilizer. The research was performed in the greenhouse at the Balai Pengujian Standar Instrumen Tanaman Aneka Kacang (BSIPTAKA), Muneng Probolinggo. This study was structured in a factorial block design with three replications executed randomly. The first factor was doses of CM consisting of 0, 8.3, 16.7, and 25 ton/ha. The second factor was concentrations of banana hump liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) consisting of 0, 10, 20, and 30 ml/L. The result showed that doses of CM had a significant effect on plant height at 10 DAP, seed weight per plant, and seed yield. The interaction between CM doses and banana hump LOF was able to increase leaf chlorophyll index at 30 DAP. Combination of 16.7 ton/ha CM and 20 ml/L banana hump LOF produced the highest average chlorophyll index of 55.07 CCI. Keywords: Chlorophyll index, Manure, Mung bean, Organic fertilizer, Seed.

Brokoli Üretiminde Tavuk Gübresinin İnorganik Azotla Rekabet Edebilirliğinin Değerlendirilmesi

Objective: This research was undertaken to evaluate the assessment of chicken manure's competitiveness with inorganic nitrogen in broccoli production.&#x0D; Material and Method: This study was conducted out in field conditions at the experimental area of Atatürk University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Erzurum, Türkiye, in 2021 and 2022. Two broccoli cultivars (Brassica oleracea var. italica, Plenk cvs. 'Burney F1' and 'Lucky F1') were used as plant material. While phosphate (200 kg P2O5 ha-1) was kept constant in the plots, 1000 kg ha-1 (CM-1), 2000 kg ha-1 (CM-2), and 4000 kg ha-1 (CM-3) chicken manure were applied additionally. The other application was planned according to the recommended dose of nitrogen (Ammonium nitrate (AN), 200 kg N ha-1). Head weight (g), diameter, and length (cm); dry matter contents of head (%); chlorophyll (SPAD); pH and soluble solid content (SSC) (%) content of heads and yield (kg ha-1) were recorded in harvested heads.&#x0D; Results: The head weight ranged from 81.2 g (control) to 295.4 g (AN). The head diameter and length changed from 6.4 cm and 4.9 cm (control) to 13.9 cm and 13.6 cm (AN), respectively. The highest chlorophyll (SPAD) content (87.6) was consistently observed in the AN application. CM applications were consistently lower than those from AN application for all cultivars and across both years. Furthermore, in CM applications, the highest yield was attained in 2021 at 16820 kg ha-1 (CM-3, 4000 kg ha-1), whereas the peak yield of 20618 kg ha-1 was recorded in the AN treatment in 2022.&#x0D; Conclusion: While the yield derived from chicken manure application falls below that achieved through AN application, it is worth noting that, in the context of environmentally sustainable production practices, the utilization of chicken manure at a rate of 4000 kg ha-1 can be advocated. As a result, chicken manure at a rate of 4000 kg ha-1 can be recommended to broccoli producers for environmentally friendly production.

Response differences of two maize hybrid varieties to the application of bioagent-ameliorant and chicken manure in fertile soil

To ensure adequate nutrition for the growth of maize (Zea mays L.) in sustainable agriculture, it is necessary to apply bio-agent soil conditioner and manure. This study aims to determine the effect of doses of bioagent-ameliorant and chicken manure on growth and yield components. The research was conducted in highland with an altitude 800 m above sea level. This study used an experimental method with two sets of experiments, namely experiments using one and two-cobs maize cultivars. The experiment used a randomized block design (RBD) with two treatment factors and three replications. The first treatment factor was the dose of bioagent ameliorant, which consisted of 3 levels, namely 0, 7.5, and 15 kg/ha, while the second factor was the dose of chicken manure, which consisted of 3 levels, namely 0.5 and 10 tons/ha. The observed growth components were plant height and number of leaves, while the yield components observed were cob length, cob diameter, cob weight per plant, and cob weight per plot. In research on two-cob maize experiment, there was no interaction effect between doses of soil conditioner and chicken manure, while the interaction effect on plant height occurred in one-cob maize experiment. The single effect of ameliorant doses could not increase all components of growth and yield, both in one and two-cob maize cultivars. The single effect of doses of chicken manure increased number of leaves, cob length, cob weight per plant, and cob weight per plot in one-cob maize cultivar, while increased plant height in two-cob maize cultivar.

The Effect of Providing Chicken Manure and Chicken Egg Shell Powder on the Growth and Yield of Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) Plant

This study aims to determine the growth response and production of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.). provision of chicken manure and chicken eggshell powder. This research was conducted in Blang Cirih Village, Peusangan Siblah Krueng District, Bireuen Regency, taking place from July to September 2023. The method used in this study was a factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 2 factors and 3 repetitions. The first factor is the application of chicken manure which consists of 4 levels, namely A0 = control (without chicken manure), Al = 150 grams/polybag, A2 = 300 grams/polybag and A3 = 450 grams/polybag. The second factor was giving chicken egg shell powder which consisted of 4 levels, namely C0 = control (without chicken egg shell powder), C1 = 60 grams/polybag, C2 = 80 grams/polybag and C3 = 100 grams/polybag. Parameters observed were plant height, number of productive branches, fruit number, fruit diameter, fruit weight and fruit weight per plant. The results showed that the application of chicken manure affected all observed parameters and the administration of chicken egg shell powder affected all observed parameters, but did not affect the number of harvest I fruit. The treatment interaction had a significant effect on plant height at 45 HST, weight fruit and fruit diameter harvest I. The best application of chicken manure was found in treatment A3 450 grams/polybag and the best application of chicken egg shell powder was found in treatment C3 100 grams/polybag to increase the growth and yield of tomato plants.
