Evaluation of Growth and Yield of Cocoyam on Varying Rates of Organic Manure in a Cocoyam Based-Intercropping System

Field experiment was conducted at Akwa Ibom State University teaching and research farm during the 2020 2021 cropping seasons to evaluate growth yield of cocoyam on varying rates organic manure in a based-intercropping system Obio Akpa, Nigeria. Experiment laid out randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were four – PM 0 t/ha, 2.5 5.0 7.5 t/ha) crop mixtures - Sole Cocoyam, Cocoyam + Maize, Melon. Result showed significant differences both applied plant height, leaf area stem girth 2, 4, 6 months after planting respectively. Organic t/ha gave higher sole cocoyam, maize, melon maize seasons. values corm cormels yield, corms weight, number length weight corm, maize. Weight (P<0.05)
