Supplementation of Manure Compost with Trichoderma asperellum Improves the Nutrient Uptake and Yield of Edible Amaranth under Field Conditions

Manure composts can improve soil health and crop production, but their application with Trichoderma species has not been well evaluated in amaranth cultivation. This study aimed to determine the effects of manure compost (MC) MC supplemented asperellum CHF 78 (MC+CHF 78) on yield nutrient uptake amaranth, as properties, under field conditions. Four fertilization treatments, including a control without fertilization, chemical (CF), MC, MC+CHF 78, were arranged randomized complete block design six replications experimental field. significantly increased by 96.2–102% comparison CF. In addition, pH, organic matter, available P exchangeable K, microbial activity compared those CF treatments. However, only plants applied showed greater than which may be attributed phosphate-solubilizing ability T. 78. conclusion, fortified used an alternative fertilizers for
