Abstract:

People have different opinions regarding the use and importance of organic amendments for sustainable crop production. The objectives of the included comparison of different types and levels of farm manure (FM) and compost on root growth and nutrient concentrations of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and rice (Oryza sativa L.). The experiments were laid out to compare different types and levels of farm manure and compost with the recommended mineral fertilizer. Significant difference (P–1 and farm manure at 40 Mg ha–1, respectively. The root lengths of both wheat and rice were increased significantly (P.
