<![CDATA[This study aimedto evaluate the effects of combined NPK fertilizer and guano application on the growth and yield of Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.). The experiment employed a factorial randomized block design with two factors: NPK fertilizer dosage (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of recommended rates) and guano dosage (5, 10, and 15 tons/ha). Observed parameters included plant height, leaf count, number of flowers, number of pegs, and fresh/dry pod weight per plant. Results demonstrated that the combination of 25% NPK and 15 tons/ha guano significantly improved plant height (43.29 cm), flower count (47.33), and fresh pod weight (81.73 g/plant). Guano alone also exhibited a substantial effect on both vegetative and generative growth, with the highest results observed at 15 tons/ha. The combination of low NPK and high guano dosages enhances Bambara groundnut productivity sustainably.]]>
