Abstract :The objective of the study was to determine the effect of poultry manure (PM), wood ash (WA), PM+WA (ration of 1:1 weight/ weight) and lime (L) applications on corn plant biomass yield in an acid reaction soil under greenhouse condition. The treatments in greenhouse pot experiment, containing 2500 g soil based on oven dry, consisted of control, the doses of 20, 40 and 80 g pot-1 of PM; the doses of 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 g pot-1 of WA; the doses of 5, 10 and 20 g pot-1 of PM+WA mixture and the doses of 2, 4 and 6 g pot-1 of L. The applications of PM compare with other treatments produced higher plant height, steam diameter, steam biomass, root biomass and root dry matter and chlorophyll b content. As a result of the study, TG and TG + KL applications have been proposed due to both more growth of corn plant and improve potential of the soil pH value.Keywords : Odun külü, Tavuk gübresi, Kireç, Mısır bitkisi
