The need for an increased production of vegetables to meet the human dietary necessitated a research in the use of different organic resources, for improving the soil fertility as well as improved yield and quality of amaranth. Thus, this report investigated the potential of two brewery waste based composts on soil fertility for amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) and Jackbean (Canavalia ensiformis) intercrop. Six treatmentsL Compost IBBW1 (Ibadan brewery waste-based compost Grade A), Compost IBBW2 (Ibadan brewery waste-based compost Grade B), Compost IBBW1+ Jackbean (JB), Compost IBBW2+ Jackbean (JB), Jackbean and control (no fertilizer) were used. The compost was applied at the rate of 100 kgN/ha. The experiment was laid in a randomized complete block design... |
