Abstract
This research was carried out to determine the effect of palm bunch ash, coconut husk ash and wood ash on maize plant. 2kg of soil and 395g of each Ashes were applied to Four treatments (T1 control, T2 10% concentration (39.5g), T3 20% concentration (79g) and T4 30% concentration (118.5g) and were used to check the rate of growth of maize after seven weeks of planting. Standard procedures were adopted for the experiment, observation was made and result were collated. The results obtained from this research showed that these organic fertilizers (coconut husk ash, wood ash and palm bunch ash) had tremendous effect on maize plant. However, it was also observed that palm bunch ash performed higher than the other two ash materials studied. It is therefore concluded that these ash treatments (palm bunch ash, coconut husk ash and wood ash) could serve as a good organic fertilizer hence their performance in this research. Thus it is recommended.Key words: Growth Characteristics, Wood Ash, Oil Palm Ash, Coconut Husk
