Chicken manure produces best quality bokasi, meeting national standards.

The type of fertilizer used can affect how well Annona muricata seedlings grow. In this study, different types of fertilizers were tested on the seedlings: organic fertilizers like cow dung and poultry manure, inorganic fertilizer like NPK, and no fertilizer as a control. Poultry manure made the tallest plants, while NPK fertilizer had the biggest leaves and stems. NPK fertilizer also had the most leaves overall. The control group had the worst growth. The results suggest that using NPK fertilizer is best for growing Annona muricata and improving soil quality.
