Abstract
To increase rice production in the Sudano-sahelian zone of Cameroon, a
study was realized at the Multipurpose Agricultural Research Station for the
Development of Garoua-Cameroon during the rainy season of 2023. This study
focuses on the search of the best quality of two organic fertilizers based on
the use of chicken manure and goat dropout on the growth and yields products of
the variety of rice Nerica L-56 in a most cultivated soils of the North,
Cameroon. The experimental design was a completely randomized blocks with 3
repetitions. The treatments were: T0 (control at 0 kg); T1 (poultry manure at
10 kg) and T2 (goat dropout manure at 10 kg). Evaluating parameters during the
development were: the height of plants, the number of tillers, the number of
panicles per pockets, the number of seeds per panicles and the weight of 1000 seeds.
The results showed that the average plants size at the maturity of development
was most significantly (p<0.05) for the poultry manure and goat dropout
treatments, compared to non-amended plots. Referred to control, the number of
tillers were most significantly (p<0.05) highest on goat dropout substrate
and followed by poultry manure treatments. Compared to control plots, the
different substrates applied not significantly (p<0.05) influence the number
of panicles at the maturity. The number of seeds per panicles at the maturity
was significantly (p<0.05) highest by the use of poultry manure treatments.
The weight of 1000 seeds after harvest for all substrates applied were not
significant (p<0.05) compared to the non-amended plots. This comparative
study on the use of these organic fertilizers permits to identify mostly the
poultry manure, as best organic matter that the nutrients elements are directly
available for the suitable growth parameters of plant and yields, compared to
the goat dropout which take more time during the mineralization process and
availability of nutrients that plant are needed.
