Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a multipurpose cereal crop with considerable potential for food, feed, and industrial applications. This study evaluated the effect of different doses of solid goat manure on sorghum yield and yield components. A randomized block design with five manure doses (0, 7.5, 15, 22.5, and 30 metric tons ha⁻¹) and three replications was employed. Observed variables included grain, plant, straw, and forage yields. Data were analyzed using ANOVA followed by Duncan’s multiple range test at the 5% significance level. Goat manure application up to 30 metric tons ha⁻¹ did not significantly affect any measured parameter (P > 0.05). However, the highest dose consistently produced the greatest mean values, indicating its potential to improve sorghum productivity despite the absence of statistically significant differences.
