“…As it is known that organic contain essential nutrients of N, P, and K, which support the growth of Pegagan plants so that growth yields and increased biomass are obtained. It is in accordance with previous studies stating that the increase in plant weight was caused by the higher nitrogen content in the formulated fertilizer because it increased the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the chlorophyll content, and the accumulation of carbohydrates in the leaves increased plant weight [11].…”

“…Supper phosphate (19% P2O5) at the rate of 45 kg P ha⁻ ¹ was applied during soil preparation. Potassium fertilizer in the shape of potassium sulphate (51% K2O) at the rate of 200 kg ha⁻ ¹ was applied in three equal doses, at the same times as nitrogen fertilizer application, these doses application according to [16,17].…”

“…One of the greatest problems facing most African countries is the inability to grow enough food for her ever-increasing population. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereals crops that provide staple food to address the growing shortage of food for a large number of human populations in the worldwide (Hossain et al, 2012). In the global, maize occupies the third after wheat and rice.…”

“…Thus, there is a tendency to use another source of fertilizer such as organic fertilizer. Organic fertilizers such as compost, farmyard and animal manures may be used as a substitute for chemical fertilizer (Hossain et al, 2012;Mohamedelnour et al, 2018). The addition of compost made from plant residues enhanced crop production by improving nutrient availability for plant, as the result of improving soil properties (Liu et al, 2013;Olowoake et al, 2018;Khan et al, 2019).…”
