dc.description.abstractField trials were conducted during the 2017 wet season at the Research farms of the Institute for Agricultural Research, Samaru and Kadawa to study the "Performance of kenaf varieties as influenced by poultry manure in the Northern guinea and Sudan Savanna". Treatments consisted of three varieties (Ifeken 400, Ifeken D1 400 and Girin danani) and four rates of poultry manure (0, 2, 4 and 6 t ha-1 ), factorially combined and laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design and replicated three times. The result showed that application of poultry manure rate at 6 t ha-1 significantly increase growth parameters such as plant height, number of leaves plant-1 and shoot dry weight. Similarly, yield components such as number of seeds capsule-1 , number of capsule plant- 1, seed weight plant-1, fibre, wood and seed yields ha-1 were significantly increased by the application of 6 t ha-1 poultry manure at Samaru and Kadawa. Girin danani significantly produced more number of leaves, wider leaf area and higher shoot dry weight than Ifeken 400 and Ifeken D1 400. However, Ifeken 400 variety took shorter days to attain 50% flowering at both locations. High and positive correlations were obtained between fibre,and seed yield and parameters such as plant height and 100 seed weight. Regression analysis showed a linear response to poultry manure rates against fibre, wood and seed yield ha-1 at both locations. From the study, application of 6 t ha-1 poultry manure resulted in better growth and higher yield in all the varieties. However, Girin danani out yielded the other two varieties in both locations. Therefore, the use of Girin danani and poultry manure at 6 t ha-1 can be adopted by farmers in the northern Guinea and Sudan savannah agro-ecological zones to enhance the productivity of kenaf.en_US
