Influence of Farmyard Manure Type and Rate On Tomato Fruit Yield and Its Attributes Under Drip Irrigation Conditions

Author : Ahmed, S.Y. and Noraldeen, A. I.

A field experiment was conducted at the Agriculture faculty farm of Sebha University,
Sebha, Libya, during the winter season of 2017 to assess the impact of different rates of two farmyard
manure (FYM) on the yield under drip irrigation. The two types of FYM were poultry and sheep
manures at rates of 0, 20, and 30 tons h-1 were mixed with the soil before transplant versus the control.
The results indicated that the fresh and dry weights, plant height, number and weight of fruits were
significantly affected by different types and levels of FMY. The maximum values of the above
mentioned traits were obtained using 30 tons ha-1 of sheep manure compared to the other treatments.
