Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea [L.] Verdc.) is a seed legume native to West Africa with significant
agronomic, nutritional, economic and socio-cultural potential. In Burkina Faso, its cropping faces enormous
constraints from poor soil fertility and poor nutrient management practices. This study aimed to evaluate the
effects of different doses of organic manure on Bambara groundnut production. Experiment was conducted in
experiment site of Tenkodogo University Center from July to October 2021. The treatments consisted of 0; 2; 3;
4; 5 t ha-1of cow dung. Experimental design consisted of the trial following a completely randomized block design
with four replications. Crop management consisted of a flat plowing, direct application of organic manure,
sowing distances of 0.40 m x 0.20 m and ridging at 49 days after sowing. Compared to the control, results showed
that application of 5 and 4 t ha-1 of organic manure significantly increased plant heights of Bambara groundnut by
19 and 20% (P
