The investigation was carried out to assess the behaviour of different organic manures under planted and non planted conditions. Four types of composts prepared from the same source and farmyard manure was used to conduct a laboratory incubation study without plant and a pot culture experiment with fodder maize of var. African tall. All the organic manures had acidic pH range and safe EC. The nonconventional thermo chemical fortified organic manure was found to be superior in terms of N and K content while vermicompost had the highest K content. The nutrient release pattern was found to be different for all soil treatments amended with organic manures including the control (C) thus reflecting the role of rhizodeposits in soil organic matter decomposition process.
