Effects of Bat (Hipposideros Pomona Andersen, 1918) Guano in Compare with Cowdung on the Growth and Yield of Tomato Plant (Solanum lycopersicum(L.)) in Magway Khin Nyein Aye Cho Cho Oo Abstract Fertilizer applications were critical to crop production and food security in Myanmar. While organic farms are mostly used livestock manure, compost and bat guano are widely applied. There were no records concerned with the efficacy of bat guano compare with cowdung on some cultivated plants in Magway. Therefore, the present study was carried out within the specific area from January, 2020 to August, 2020. This was tested twice in four- month crops of two economically important plant, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum(L.)). Five treatments were employed in the trial: a control (T0 treatment), 100% bat guano (T1 treatment), 50% bat guano + 50% soil (T2 treatment), 100% cowdung (T3 treatment), and 50% cowdung + 50% soil (T4 treatment). Results indicated that bat guano applications enhance in plant growth compared to control, all plants in guano treatment exhibited greater growth rates. In the first and second time experiments of tomato plants, the maximum plant height, number of leaves, number of branches, length of leaves, breadth of leaves, number of buds and flowers ,number of fruits and weight of fruits were found more in T2 treatment than those of other treatments, (T0, T1, T3 and T4). Additional trails are recommended to elucidate any longer term and cumulative benefit that might accrue from the use of bat guano as a plant fertilizer. 2024-05-07 https://meral.edu.mm/records/9461
