Impact of organic and mineral fertilizers on the growth and biomass production of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) in Burkina Faso
Sidnoma Marie Emeline Vanessa Sompougdou, Hugues Roméo Bazié, Philippe Bayen, Caroline Bassono
Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) is one of the most leafy vegetables widely consumed in Burkina Faso. However, inappropriate input and unsuitable doses constitute a constraint to the optimal productivity of amaranth. This study aims to evaluate the effect of four organic fertilizers and two mineral fertilizers on the agromorphological perform(...)
