Sustainable fertilization using local resources such as manure is crucial for soil health. This study evaluated the potential of guinea pig to replace mineral fertilizers in hard yellow maize (hybrid INIA 619) under Peruvian coastal conditions. A split-plot design tested four doses (0, 2, 5, 10 t⋅ha−1) and levels (0%, 50%, 75%, 100%). The assessed plant height, ear characteristics, yield, nutritional quality parameters. results indicated that 100% led highest height (229.67 cm) grain weight (141.8 g). Yields 9.19 9.08 t⋅ha−1 were achieved with 5 manure, while 50% gave 8.8 t⋅ha−1, similar full dose (8.7 t⋅ha−1). protein content was combined fertilization. However, no significant differences found between fertilizer doses. In conclusion, applying improved nutrient use efficiency, maize, reducing need by up 50%. provides a sustainable strategy agricultural systems.
