Farmers in Nigeria practice intercropping by relaying cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) into pepper (Capsicum annum L.). However, high cost of inorganic fertilizer had discouraged most farmers from applying fertilizer to their crops. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of NPK fertilizer and poultry manure on the performance of pepper relay cropped. A split-plot layout was adopted using four fertilizer levels: no fertilizer, 120N + 80P + 50K kg/ha, poultry manure (PM) 6,250 kg/ha and 50 % to 50 % mixture of NPK and PM. The cropping pattern, sole pepper, and two cassava cultivars relayed into pepper at 1 MAT were main plots while the fertilizer levels were the subplots. The experiments were replicated three times. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA were used to analyze the data of growth and yield parameters. Fertilizer application significantly (P NPK + PM > PM. The yield (10.1 t/ha) of pepper obtained under ‘Oko Iyawo’ across the fertilizer treatments was 14.4 % greater than the yield (8.7 t/ha) obtained with TMS 30572. All the fertilizer treatments yielded more than the control in the following order: PM > ½ NPK + ½ PM >NPK alone respectively.
