Abstract

ABSTRACT The research was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm, School of Agriculture and Agricultural Technology Imo State Polytechnic Omuma to investigate the performance of Green (Amaranthus Hybrids) to varied weeding and poultry manure in Omuma. The experimental design used was Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) replicated four (4) times. The treatment were 2WAP weeding, 4WAP weeding, 6WAP after weeding and zero weeding (control) which acted as a check. The results showed that 2WAP weeding gave a mean leaf yield value of 5.0t/ha. The least leaf yield value of 1.8t/ha was obtained at zero (control) weeding in the experiment.
