The effect of different levels of chicken waste : saw dust mixtures on growth and biomass production of Chinese spinach, amaranthus tricolor

Chicken manure and saw dust are valuable organic wastes that can be utilized in vegetable fanning thru the concept of nutrient recycling and maintenance of soil organic matter. This study examined the effects of different ratios of chicken manure: saw dust (25CM:75SD, 50CM:50S0 and 75CM:25S0) and th...
