Soil Fertility Restoration Potentials of Tithonia Green Manure and Water Hyacinth Compost on a Nutrient Depleted Soil in South Western Nigeria

Response of Water Hyacinth Manure on Growth Attributes and Yield in Brassica Juncea

“…Majid et al [18] & Majid [17] reported the increased yield in above plants with both compost as well as manure of water hyacinth used in combination with other aquatic weeds. Our results are in agreement with previous [3,4] indicated the soil fertility potential of water hyacinth compost and revealed its enhanced affect on productivity of Zea mays crop. With this result it can be suggested that, by the addition of water hyacinth manure into cultivation which affected the performance of test plant may be probably due to the increase of Nitrogen availability released from water hyacinth during the process of mineralization.…”

Influence of soil texture and compost on the early growth and nutrient uptake of Moringa oleifera Lam

“…Also, the observation agreed with Adebayo et al (2011) that application of different organic amendment significantly influenced the accumulation of N, P, and K in Moringa seedlings. Chukwuka and Omotayo (2009) also supported that, there was improvement in chemical properties of soil and nutrient uptake in plants due to application of organic amendments.…”

The impact of water hyacinth manure on growth attributes and yields in Coriandrum

“…Enhanced affects of Water hyacinth have been reported by Kayum et al [30] on productivity of tomato and Amitava et al [31] on rice. Chukwuka & Omotayo [5,32] indicated the soil fertility potential of Water hyacinth compost and revealed its enhanced affect on productivity of Zea mays crop. With this result it can be suggested that, by the addition of Water hyacinth manure into cultivation which affected the performance of test plant may be probably due to the increase of Nitrogen availability released from Water hyacinth during the process of mineralization.…”
