Poultry manure boosts Moringa growth, outperforming cow dung in study.
The study looked at how using poultry droppings and cow dung as fertilizers affects the growth of Moringa oleifera seedlings. Both types of manure helped the seedlings grow, but poultry droppings worked better than cow dung. The seedlings were taller, thicker, and had longer roots when fertilized with poultry droppings. However, the levels of chlorophyll and carotenoids in the leaves were similar for both types of manure. Overall, using poultry manure is recommended for growing Moringa plants because it leads to better growth.
