Field experiments were conducted at two locations (Yandev and Makurdi, Benue State) in 2008 and 2009 to assess the effect of amending soil with different levels of poultry droppings on the performance of water melon (Citrullus lanatus). The work consisted of four levels of poultry manure (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 tonnes per hectare) laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) and replicated three times. Significant increases in length of tendrils (up to 42% at Yandev) were observed at 6WAP with 10t/ha poultry droppings compared to 4WAP. The number of fruits per treatment also increased significantly (P<0.05) with manure rates resulting in 54 and 24% increase over control at Yandev and Makurdi respectively. The yield, (weight of fruits/ ha) showed significant (P<0.05) increase of 36.6 and 133.9% over control in the 10t/ha treatment at Makurdi and Yandev locations respectively. Only the number of days to fruiting was significantly (P<0.05) influenced by location.
