Abstract

Nigerian soils are generally low in fertility and enhanced crop yield is only possible through external use of organic and inorganic fertilizers. The present study was carried out under field condition at Teaching and Research Farms, Lagos State Polytechnic, Ikorodu to evaluate effects of compost, cow dung and NPK 15-15-15 fertilizer amendments on the growth and yield performances of Amaranthus hybridus. The obtained results indicated that all treatments significantly achieved an increment in morphological parameters (numbers of leaves stem girth, leaf area and plant height) and fresh weight yield comparing with the control.
