s likely producing higher yields
add hypothesis
four different livestock animal manures to sweetcorn, including goat, horse, chicken, and cow, to see which one produces the best weight yield
Mention if they will be applied at differing rates
reducing fertilizer costs by utilizing free wasteresources such as manur
maybe give an estimate on how much it will reduce costs
The purpose of this research is to determine how different types of animal manures (goat,horse, cow, and chicken) affect sweet corn yield and soil health metrics in California's centralcoast
specify what metrics will be measured
The Central Coast has significant microclimate diversitycaused by geography, elevation, and marine influence, resulting in different temperature andmoisture patterns that directly affect agricultural production (Devine et al., 2019).
Good regional context. Maybe expand a little on how temp and moisture might affect manure breakdown rates.

Manure helps increase soil organic matter, enhance microbialactivity, and improve nutrient cycling, all while cutting down on the use of chemicals. (Bradyand Weil, 2017).
Textbook source, not journal paper. Good but maybe could add peer reviewed citation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38649721/
Relying on syntheticfertilizers has raised concerns about damaging the soil structure and long-term fertility (Diaconoand Montemurro, 2010).
Good justification. Could add a more recent source to support the sustainability concern
