Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the utility value of poultry drops compost as organic fertilizer source for seed germination, growth and yield potentials of Cluster Bean in pot culture experiments. Three treatments with a control were maintained under greenhouse condition. Among the treatments, the poultry compost + NPK combined treatment proved to be superior over the other treatments in enhancing crop growth and yield. The treatments enhanced the seed germination 10-61%, plant growth 105-125%, number of leaves 34-75%, fresh leaf weight 9-123%, plant fresh weight 24-89%, dry matter weight 4-29% and 29-43% vegetable yield. The poultry manure plus NPK combined shows an increased production of biochemical constituents and yield parameters. The study strongly supports the incorporation of organics with inorganic fertilizers in conventional agriculture for sustainable crop productivity.
