Abstract

The present study describes the effect of three organic manures viz. cowdung,
pigdung and poultry excreta on various hydrobiological parameters and gross
primary productivity in ponds stocked with Labeo rohita. Poultry excreta
showed higher values of dissolved oxygen, pH, carbonate and bicarbonate
alkalinity and gross primary productivity while cowdung recorded higher
values of free carbondioxide than the other two manured ponds. The
hydrological characteristics and gross primary productivity profiles of ponds
reveal that the poultry excreta had better manurial value followed by pigdung
and cowdung
