The number of leaves/plant. Analysis of variance indicated the significant effect of treatment on this trait at P≤0.01
(Table 2). Mean comparison showed that the highest number of leaves was achieved when pigeon manure was
applied at 3%; although it had no significant differences with 1.5 or 4.5% (Fig. 1). The lowest number of leaves was
observed in the control. All treatments increased the number of leaves compared with the control.
