Resumen
Field study was conducted during 2020 and 2021 cropping seasons at the Teaching and Research Farm of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai at Southern, Guinea Savanna, Nigeria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of maize under different goat manure rates and weed management strategies. Treatments consisted of two factors; goat manure rates (0, 5, 10, and 15t ha-1) and five weed management strategies [weeding once at 3 weeks after sowing (WAS); weeding twice at 3 and 6 WAS; weeding thrice at 3, 6 and 9 WAS; weed free, and Weedy check] laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data were collected on weed density, weed control efficiency, growth and yield characters such as plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area, leaf area index, dry cob weight and grain yield. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance using GenStat Package version 17 and means were compared using Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test at 5 % probability level. The goat manure was relatively high in organic matter, N and P compared with K, Ca and Mg. The results showed that the most dominant of weed species were the broadleaves such as the Hyptis suaveolens and Tridex procumbens. An increasing goat manure at 15 t ha-1 in combination with weed free treatment improved growth parameters such as plant stand count, plant height, and leaf area, reducing the detrimental impact of weeds in the field. Similarly, higher grains and yield components were reported in plots treated with 15 t ha-1 of goat manure in addition to weed free. Oba supper 11maize variety with the application of 15 t ha-1 of goat manure and weed free is recommended for farmers in the research region
