Effects of Poultry Manure on the Growth, Physiology, Yield, and Yield-Related Traits of Maize Varieties

Industries play a significant role in the improvement of lifestyle and development country. However, byproducts from these industries are source environmental pollution. The proper use can help to cope with Some have high nutritional content good for crop plants. purpose this research was investigate effect different rates poultry manure on soil chemical properties, growth, yield maize. A pot experiment conducted botanical garden Department Botany, University Sargodha, Pakistan various treatments (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 g/pot) morphological, physiological, attributes two maize varieties, Pearl MMRI. Treatment T1 mixture 75 g/pot manure, T2 50 T3 25 T4 manure. Soil without any industrial byproduct (100% only) used as control (T0). results revealed that enhanced physical properties soil. Available P organic matter were improved amended It is evident vegetative growth both varieties significantly by growing compared their respective control. Similar responses also recorded physiological leaf area, photosynthetic rate, transpiration stomatal conductance, water efficiency varieties. Yield yield-contributing traits plants inferred amendment an eco-friendly economically effective option growers arid semiarid regions enhance kernel profit per annum. Poultry could be useful ameliorate adverse effects salinity stress all parameters, particularly grain yield. Furthermore, would economical method safe disposal byproducts.
