Field experiments were conducted between June and October 2010 wet season at  two different locations. The first was at the Horticultural Research Garden  of the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Samaru in the Northern  Guinea Savanna agro-ecological zone and the second experiment was conducted  at the Research Farm of the Irrigation Research Sub-Station (IRS), Kadawa in  the Sudan Savanna agro-ecological zone also of the Institute for Agricultural  Research, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria to evaluate the response of  grain amaranth growth and green edible vegetable yield components to three  methods of cattle kraal manure application (broadcasting, side banding and  spot placement incorporated) and five rates of cattle kraal manure  application (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 t ha-1), using the variety ‘Pure branch’.  The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and  replicated three times. Cattle kraal manure application rates significantly  (p > 0.05) increased growth of green edible vegetable yield characters of  grain amaranth except stem girth at Samaru. Growth and green edible vegetable  yield characters were generally not influenced by methods of cattle kraal  manure application except for plant height, number of leaves per plant at 12  WAT at Samaru, and plant fresh weight at 12 WAT at Kadawa and dry weight at 4  and 12 WAT at Samaru and 12 WAT at Kadawa. Application of cattle kraal manure  of 10 t ha-1 to Amaranthus cruenthus gave the highest mean values which were  comparable to those of 15 and 20 t ha-1 rates for all the characters measured  such as plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, fresh and dry weights.  Thus, the finding suggests that 10 t ha-1 should be recommended to farmers  growing Amaranthus in the Northern Guinea and Sudan Savanna of Nigerian  agro-ecologies
