Effect Of Different Sources Of Animal Manure On The Growth And Yield Of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus L.Moench) In Ustoxic Dystropept At Enugu South Eastern, Nigeria

A field study was conducted at the Department of Agricultural Education Experimental Farm at Institute of Ecumenical Education Thinker’s Corner Enugu South Eastern Nigeria to investigate the effect of different sources of animal wastes on the growth and yield of Okra. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized complete Block Design (RCRD) with four replicates, Poultry manure (12KgPM/plot), Pig manure (12KgPG/plot), Goat manure (12GM/plot) and control that received no treatment (0Kg/plot).The result of the study showed that there were significant differences between the treatments in most of the parameters assessed. The poultry manure recorded the highest Value in all the parameters and was significantly (P=O.O5) different from the other treatments in fruit weight (11.63gm), number of fruits/plant (23.5) and number of flowers/plant. Goat manure performed competitively better than the Pig manure, in all the parameter measured, while the control plots showed least performance in this study with a yield of
