ABSTRACT
Current soil and agricultural management strategies are mainly dependent on continuous use of inorganic fertilizers which are industrially manipulated substances, largely water-soluble and contain high available nutrient concentrations. The study which aimed at evaluating the effect of organic fertilizer on the growth and yield of maize was conducted at the research and teaching farm of Jigawa state polytechnic Dutse in dutse Local Government Area of Jigawa State, Nigeria. The experimental design used was randomized complete block design (RCBD) with sixth treatments the parameters measured were number of leaves, stem girth, plant height . The analysis shows that there were significant difference (p<0.05) among the treatments applied on the parameters measured. It was discovered that treatment of organic fertilizer gave the greatest difference among the treatments. Therefore, based on the findings, organic fertilizer is recommended to farmers for optimum growth and yield of maize production. Key words: Organic fertilizer, Growth and Yield.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Worldwide the most limiting factor for
crop production is deteriorating fertility of soils. This problem is even worse
for marginal and resource poor farmers, who cannot afford to apply heavy doses
of organic fertilizers for crop production. The problem of land deterioration,
reduced fertility and rapidly declining agricultural production can be reduced
to a greater extent by maintaining the quality of the soil. Apart from mineral
and organic matter, the microorganisms are the important constituent of the soil
as they affect a number of physical, chemical and biological processes that
takes place in the soil (Mohammadi and Sohrabi, 2018). One such option that
helps in maintaining the Organic fertilizers npk are the products that contain
cells of different microbes which are agriculturally beneficial. They can be
further defined as commercial preparations, which contain living or latent
cells of efficient strains of microorganisms that help the crop plants in
uptake of various .nutrients by their interaction in the rhizosphere. Numerous
species of beneficial ,microorganisms are capable to stimulate the growth of
plants by a plethora of mechanisms .(Vessey, 2019) The organic fertilizer (npk)
can be applied to seeds, plant surface or to soil. Chemical .fertilizers
directly increase the soil fertility by adding nutrients into the soil, whereas
,organic fertilizers are helpful in nutrient uptake as their main function in
soil is to either fix a .nutrient on soil surface that is subjected to greater
loss, or to solubilize a nutrient that is not .available to plants because of
fixation on the soil surface. organic fertilizers have a very high potential
for N fixation. It has been estimated that 40-250 kg N/ha/year is fixed by
different legume crops by the microbial activity of Rhizobium. .Apart from
their role in nutrient transformation, they also secrete several growth
hormones and ,vitamins, which enhance the seed germination and growth. Further,
organic fertilizers are cost .effective and environmental friendly technique
and serves as a good supplement to chemical .fertilizers. Thus, it can be
concluded that organic fertilizers are intended to improve the nutrient ,uptake
and their use efficiency without application of extra doses of inorganic
chemicals.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
1.
Water, air pollution), reduced input efficiency, decreased food quality, degradation
2. Micronutrient deficiency in soil, toxicity
to different beneficial meet the food demands of the world's growing
population.
1.2 JUSTIFICATION OF STUDY
This study will help in creating awareness
on the effect of organic fertilizer on yield on cereal grown. It will also help
to identify the way to which the application of organic fertilizer can be done the
study will also help the students and academy research to understand more about
organic fertilizer npk
