Abstract: In order to investigate the effect of poultry dung and cattle manure on clay and sandy clay loam soil chemical properties, an incubation experiment was carried out in which clay and sandy clay loam soil were amended with poultry and cattle manure at 0, 20, 40 and 60 g kgG . The soil treated was incubated in the dark at 25?C for eight weeks at field capacity. Soil pH, O.C, N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na and CEC increased with rate of manure, while exchangeable acidity reduced irrespective of soil type. The poultry manure gave quick response and higher concentration of soil chemical properties especially in case of the clay soil.
