Abstract

Coastal land has great potential for the expansion of agricultural land. However, its productivity is generally low due to its highly sandy texture, resulting in low nutrient status and limited water absorption capacity. Maize yield is relatively sensitive to low nutrient and water availability. The application of manure in the coastal land management is a promising effort to overcome these obstacles through the improvement of physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. The effects of type of manure on growth and yield of four maize hybrids have been assessed. A factorial 4x4 experiment arranged in a fully randomized block design with 2 factors and 3 replications was conducted on the coastal land to determine (1) the best types of manure for maize production in the coastal land and (2) the most adapted hybrid maize to coastal land. The first factor was maize hybrids consisted of CT16, CT30, CT34, and CT50. The second factor was the manure types consisted of control (without fertilizer), poultry manure, cow manure, and goat manure. The results showed that there was no interaction between hybrid and manure type. The most adaptable maize hybrid to coastal land was CT50. The most suitable fertilizer to increase maize productivity in coastal countries was goat manure.
