Abstract
The demand for food is increasing and the use of soil organic amendments in agricultural management practices has been instructed to increase crop yield and reduce dependence on synthetic inorganic fertilizers at low cost to limited resource farmers.However, the effect of organic amendments on the quality and nutritional composition of edible plants has received little attention.Locally available organic amendments (sewage sludge SS, chicken manure CM, cow manure Cow, vermicompost Vermi, and biochar Bio) were chosen to test their impact on field-grown sweet potato, Ipomoea batatas L. yield, root quality, and root nutritional composition.The results indicated that utilizing Cow manure in growing sweet potatoes significantly promoted root yield and root nutritional composition.Cow treatment produced the greatest number of roots compared to Bio, CM, SS, and the control treatments.The results also revealed that the concentrations of vitamin C (260. 3 g g -1 ), -carotene (45.4 g g -1 ), soluble sugars (16.7 mg g -1 ), and total phenols (196.3 3 g g -1 fresh roots) were greater in the roots of plants grown in Cow compared to the roots of the control treatment.The results indicated the low impact of biochar whereas Cow is recommended for enhancing sweet potato yield and nutritional composition.
