  1. Evaluating the effects of manure and different water application regimes on growth and yield of kales

  2. This study will help to evaluate effect of manure and different water application regimes on growth and yield of kales.Leaf size, plant size and yield weight of kales in 6 plots with manure will be compared with that from 6 plots without

  3. 2 plots with manure and 2 plots without will be irrigated at the same rate. Water application regimes to be tested are; 20 mins/day, 40 mins/2 days and 60 mins/3 days to help evaluate growth at different stages and yield in different plots.

  4. Data on leaf length, leaf width and plant height will be taken every week to determine which plots have the highest growth rate. During harvest, experimental harvested area, number of experimental plants, experimental weight, total weight of the whole plot, number of marketable leaves(from experimental plants) and number of non-marketable leaves(from experimental plants) will be taken from each plot for comparison

  5. The expected outcomes are; manure + 20 min/day, manure + 40 min/2 days, manure + 1hr/3 days or no manure + 20 min/day, no manure + 40 min/2 days, no manure + 1hr/3 days.
