Abstract

Background and Objective: In order to investigate the synergistic effects of livestock and poultry manure on the growth and yield of green beans of the Canyon cultivar under field conditions, experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with seven treatments in a farm located in the southern region of Kerman province.

Methods and Materials: The experimental treatments included control, 10 tons/ha of manure, 20 tons/ha of manure, 3 tons/ha of poultry manure, 5 tons/ha of poultry manure, 10 tons/ha of poultry and livestock manure, and 20 tons/ha of poultry and livestock manure. Some of the traits evaluated included plant height, pod length, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, and total yield.

Results: The results of this study showed that the application of a mixture of livestock and poultry manure increased some growth characteristics, yield and yield components at the highest level. In general, the simultaneous use of a mixture of poultry and livestock manure had positive effects on the growth and yield characteristics of green beans and can be used as an efficient method to improve the quality and yield of agricultural products.

Conclusion: Therefore, according to the results obtained, the effect of a mixture of livestock and poultry manure can be recommended as a strategy for increasing green bean yield. These findings indicate that the integration of organic fertilizers into green bean cultivation practices can increase crop yield and contribute to the development of sustainable agriculture..
