“…Despite the use of cattle wastes as fertilizer, L. siceraria productivity is still slow and its leaves and roots are always insufficient for population's health treatment. Nevertheless, animal wastes are valuable resources as soil fertilizers providing macronutrients and micronutrients for crop growth, and improving soil structure and quality (Gbenou et al., 2017) but they may contain heavy metals that can pollute soil and prevent nutrients absorption by plants (Ravindran et al., 2017; Mukhuba et al., 2018). In fact, long used of animal wastes can lead to the accumulation of heavy metals in soil affecting negatively plant growth, soil microbial diversity and activity and agricultural productivity (Yan et al., 2016).…”

The increase in agricultural production as well as its nutritional quality at a cost bearable by producers is today a challenge in rural areas. Vermicompost is a low-cost organic amendment known for its effectiveness on agricultural productivity increase but little is diffused about its efficacy on nutritional quality. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of vermicompost from cattle dung on Lagenaria siceraria yield and its edible parts content in mineral and in heavy metal compared to raw dung. The study was carried out in the region of Mankono the biggest area for L. siceraria production in Côte d’Ivoire during three cycle seasons. The experiment consisted of three treatments arranged in a complete randomized block design with four replicates. The agronomic parameters as yield, number of leaves and flowers per plant were evaluated. Also, mineral nutrients and heavy metal concentrations in roots, leaves and seeds were measured. Results showed that yield, number of leaves and flowers per plant were higher with the vermicompost than with the cattle manure and the control. The yield obtained with the vermicompost was 2.5 times and 20 times higher respectively than that with the cattle manure and the control. Mineral concentrations in roots, leaves and seeds were the highest with the vermicompost when heavy metal contents were the lowest. The present study indicates that vermicompost utilization improves the yield and the nutritional quality of the edible parts of L. siceraria and hence could be recommended to producers for increasing productivity with keeping the health and safety of human.

“…Applying animal manure is old and traditional system of soil fertility management. Because of decreasing in livestock farming in households, availability and application of livestock manure is decreasing (Gbenou et al, 2017). Cow dung was applied as organic manure in farmland to increase soil fertility and productivity (Prapannacharya, 2015).…”

This paper aims to show the soil fertility management practice in Sainamaina Municipality, Rupandehi Nepal. Soil fertility management is human practice to increase crop productivity while maintaining or improving soil's physical chemical and biological properties. For research work, ward 5,6,7,8 and 9 of Sainamaina municipality Rupandehi district of Nepal was selected as the study area. This study was conducted based on both primary and secondary data. To make soil more fertile, urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP) and potas are applied as chemical fertilizer and animal dung and green manure (Sesbana bispinosa and vigna radiata) are used as organic fertilizer in the study area. To save potato from blight, farmers use to apply pesticides getting from local aggravates and pesticides are used to control Gabaro Stem Borer) in paddy and maize in spring and autumn. To remove weeds by human resource the Parimo System (equal labor sharing by farmers to each other) was rooted in past but through time Parimo System is decreasing because of peoples of study area are engaged to other occupation as well. Out of the 74 total agriculture area (2361.7ha) only 9% were irrigated. Around 80% area of the total irrigated land irrigated by public tub well. There are six tube wells situated in study area. Farmers of the study area used both domestic and improved seeds and they often practiced bartering system for local domestic seeds for their cultivation. Local domestic seed is gradually going to be replaced by hybrid seeds. The different productivity of different crops was detected from the farmer as an indicator of soil fertility management practice.

“…Pupuk kotoran ayam diketahui dapat memasok nutrisi yang cukup ke tanah, sehingga dapat mempercepat pertumbuhan vegetatif dan generatif tanaman (Aiyelaagbe, et al, 2005;Katung, et al, 2005 dibandingkan dengan pupuk dari kotoran hewan lainnya. Hasil penelitian Gbenou, et al (2017), menunjukkan bahwa kotoran unggas mengandung N sebesar 11,7 g kg -1 , P sebesar 4,6 g kg -1 dan K sebesar 7,6 g kg -1 , sedangkan kotoran kambing mengandung N sebesar 6,0 g kg -1 , P sebesar 4,9 g kg -1 dan K sebesar 7,3 g kg -1 . Kotoran unggas diantaranya ayam dan walet, memiliki kandungan nitrogen (N) yang lebih tinggi serta nutrisi lain yang secara bertahap dilepaskan ke tanaman ( Awodun, 2007dan Khalil, et al, 2005.…”

“…Kotoran sapi dan kambing memiliki kandungan nitrogen yang tidak tinggi, dan tidak memiliki dampak secara langsung seperti pupuk kimia, serta melepaskan nutrisi dalam jangka waktu yang lebih lama dibandingkan pupuk kotoran ayam dan walet (Gbenou, et al, 2017). Pupuk kotoran sapi dan kambing mengandung berbagai jenis serat organik yang berasal dari pakan tumbuh-tumbuhan pada hewan ternak yang menyebabkan proses dekomposisi bahan organiknya berlangsung lebih lambat dibandingkan pupuk kotoran ayam dan walet (Jamilah, 2002).…”

Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui: (1) interaksi antara jenis tanaman terung dengan pupuk kotoran hewan: (2) respon dua jenis tanaman terung terhadap jenis pupuk kotoran hewan dan (3) pengaruh jenis pupuk kotoran hewan terhadap dua jenis tanaman terung. Penelitian dilaksanakan selama lima bulan, yaitu dari bulan Juni sampai dengan November 2018, bertempat di Desa Lempake Dalam, Kecamatan Samarinda Ilir, Kota Samarinda. Penelitian merupakan percobaan faktorial 2×4 disusun dalam Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK) dengan empat ulangan. Faktor pertama adalah jenis terung, terdiri atas terung ungu dan terung hijau. Faktor kedua adalah jenis pupuk kotoran hewan, terdiri atas pupuk kotoran sapi, kambing, ayam dan walet. Data dianalisis dengan sidik ragam. Apabila pengaruh perlakuan berbeda nyata, untuk membandingkan antara dua rata-rata perlakuan, dilanjutkan dengan uji Beda Nyata Terkecil (BNT) pada taraf 5%.Hasil analisis statistika menunjukkan tidak terdapat interaksi antara jenis tanaman terung dengan jenis pupuk kotoran hewan terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman terung. Jenis tanaman terung menunjukkan respon yang berbeda nyata terhadap pertambahan tinggi tanaman 45 hari setelah pindah tanam (HSPT) dan diameter buah dan berbeda nyata terhadap berat segar buah per tanaman, berat segar buah per petak dan berat segar buah per ha. Terung hijau memberikan berat segar buah yang tertinggi, yaitu 19,10 Mg ha-1. Jenis pupuk kotoran hewan berbeda nyata pada variabel pertambahan tinggi tanaman 45 HSPT dan berat segar buah per tanaman. Pupuk kotoran walet memberikan pengaruh yang cenderung lebih baik terhadap pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman, dengan berat segar buah per tanaman yang tertinggi, yaitu 0,85 kg.
