A commercial organic fertiliser 80 chicken manure 20 sawdust was evaluated on Amaranthus sp. grown on peat. Yields obtained were significantly lower with the commercial organic fertiliser POF compared to yields obtained with chicken manure. At 30 t/ha organic input yields obtained with POF was only 10.7t/ha for the first crop while CM gave a yield of 28.3t/ha. The second crop with added organic fertiliser gave yields of 12.3t/ha with POF and 30.7t/ha with CM. POF is clearly an inferior organic fertiliser compared to CM.

Abstract

A commercial organic fertiliser 80 chicken manure 20 sawdust was evaluated on Amaranthus sp. grown on peat. Yields obtained were significantly lower with the commercial organic fertiliser POF compared to yields obtained with chicken manure. At 30 t/ha organic input yields obtained with POF was only 10.7t/ha for the first crop while CM gave a yield of 28.3t/ha. The second crop with added organic fertiliser gave yields of 12.3t/ha with POF and 30.7t/ha with CM. POF is clearly an inferior organic fertiliser compared to CM.
