ABSTRACT
The study was conducted in 1996, to assess the effect of
Paulownia leaves as manure on the yield of wheat crop.
Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block
design (RCB) replicated four times (8 pots/ treatment).
The variables to be tested were three doses of well
rottened leaf mould manure of Paulownia spp. (Control no
manure and treatments 75, 150 and 225 gm/ treatment)
applied to soil in earthen pots (380 cm2) supplemented
with 10 gm Urea fertilizer/pot as basal dose in all
treatments and control. Results indicated that seed
germination was insignificant affected and better plant
growth and height was observed in all treatments. The
grain yield was higher and significant in doses of
manure than control. It is concluded that Paulownia
leaves manure shows positive effect on wheat and
improves the grain yield of the crop. On account of
this, Paulownia spp. are ideal for agro-forestry in
Pakistan.
