Composted cattle and poultry manures provide excellent fertility and improved management of gray leaf spot in maize

2012-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Gray leaf spot incited by Cercospora zeae maydis, is an important disease of maize (Zea mays L.) world-wide. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of composted poultry and cattle manures on development of gray leaf spot and yield of maize. The effects of composted manures were compared with those of different sources of inorganic synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in two cropping seasons. Composted...
