dc.description.abstractThe study explored the use of cured manure (Bokashi) and its awareness among smallholder farmers in Gutu District, Zimbabwe. Three treatments (cured manure, non-cured manure and ordinary soil) were experimented in four nutritional gardens which are Tapudzai, Mukuro, Mazare and Mutendeure under peas and rape crops. From these gardens, fifteen participants (n = 60) were selected using purposive sampling while data was generated using face to face interviews and the data was analysed using MiniTab 15. Results indicated that the yield of rape and peas across the four gardens was high (p < 0.03) where Bokashi manure was administered. The findings were supported by the soil sample test results which showed that Bokashi cured soil had higher quantities of macro (N, P, K & Mg) and micro ( Zn, Cu, Mn & Fe) nutrients than uncured manure and ordinary soil. Recommendations for Bokashi cured manure use are suggested.en_US
