A study was carried out to assess the impact of different doses of compost on zucchini growth. In Côte d'Ivoire, zucchinis are widely used in gastronomy, as are eggplants. However, their production remains very low, due to the effects of climate change, a shortage of arable land and the increasing degradation of their fertility. To achieve this, composts based on broiler droppings, pig slurry and NPK fertilizer were used. The results showed that the application of 4 kg/m² of pig manure favoured good germination. On the other hand, optimal plant growth was stimulated by the same dose (4 kg/m²) of compost made from broiler droppings. Based on these results, an application of 4 kg/m² of compost is optimal for promoting zucchini growth.
