Garlic Yield Response to Chicken Manure and NPS Fertilizer Rates in 2021/2022

An experimental dataset measuring the influence of chicken manure and NPS fertilizer application rates on garlic yield components. The data was collected during the 2021/2022 growing season and authored by Abrham Shumbulo. It is shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between fertilizer rates and bulb length (BL) and bulb diameter (BD) based on the described variables.
• Analyzing the effect of organic (chicken manure) versus blended (NPS) fertilizers on the number of cloves (NC) and clove weight (CW).
• Predicting unmarketable yield (UMY) based on fertilizer treatment combinations mentioned in the description.
• Comparing the efficacy of different fertilizer types and rates on overall garlic yield metrics.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse.
• The dataset is focused on a specific agricultural experiment with defined variables (BL, BD, NC, CW, UMY) and a clear time frame (2021/2022).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
