There is considerable agreement that neither type of fertilizer can be used without good agricultural production, and that organic matter and mineral fertilizers play their role (Dudal, 2002; FAO, 1999). A test was conducted in the Ngandajika region using a mineral fertilizer (DAP), a manure combining bat-guano and DAP, and a manure combining Tithonia diversifolia and DAP. The following results were recorded: Of two varieties, QPM3 yielded 3.87 Mg/Ha higher than Mus1 yielded 3.08 Mg/Ha. In the QPM3 variety, all fertilizations yielded significantly the same higher yield than the control, whereas in the Mus1, the combination of Bat-guano+DAP yielded 4.28 Mg/Ha significantly the same as the DAP with 3.97 Mg/Ha more than the combination of Tithonia diversifolia+DAP with 3.55 Mg/Ha by far greater than the control.
