Abstract
The study was conducted at Prince Abubakar Audu University Student Research and Demonstration Farm, Anyigba, during the 2024 farming season. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of organic manure on vegetable (cabbage) production in Anyigba. The experiment was laid in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four (4) replicates. Treatments consisted of two (2) poultry manure (4 and 8 tons per ha), two (2) pig slurry (4 and 8 tons per ha), a combination of both with internal each of 4 tons with a control (0 tons) respectively. From the results obtained, it is clearly that Cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) was significantly (p<0.05) influence by the application of Organic Manure. Poultry Manure (4t) + Pig Slurry (4t) plot significantly produced the tallest plant, at 2 and 4 Weeks after transplanting with mean value of (4.00 and 13.30) while at 6, 8, 10 WAT 8 t/ha Poultry Manure gave the Tallest plant with mean value of 20.13, 20.47 and 5.67. The highest number of leaves was obtained from 8 t/ha Poultry Manure with mean value of 5.67, 12.00, 12.67, 14.17 and 14.83 at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 WAT. The application of 8 tonnes per hectare of poultry manure significantly (P < 0.05) produced the highest yield of (59.33 t/ha). Organic manure provided plants with sufficient nutrients to facilitate the synthesis of certain metabolites and enzymes resulting in increased yields.
