In Burkina Faso, maize (Zea mays L.) is the second most cultivated cereal. However, yields remain low due to the decline in soil fertility inherent to several factors. This study was carried out in order to valorize compost and quail droppings in maize production. It was carried out in a greenhouse vegetation vase at French Research Institute for Sustainable Development in Ouagadougou. The methodology used was based on a randomized block agronomic trial with 04 treatments repeated 5 times. The trial consisted of comparing compost (3 t ha-1), quail droppings (3 t ha-1) and NPK (14-23-14-3B-1S) (200 kg ha-1) with a control. The chemical and biological parameters of the soil after harvest and the production of maize biomass were measured. The results showed that soil amendment with compost significantly increases (P = 0.006) biomass production (125.44 ± 17.13 g) compared to NPK. Compost-treated soils significantly (P = 0.0001) improved plant height (101.22 ± 8.34 cm) and number of ears per plant (0.67 ± 0.14) compared with other treatments. Plant diameter was significantly (P = 0.0001) increased under quail droppings (13.67 ± 0.51 mm). The soil treated with quail droppings improved microbial life with increased CO2 release (2715 ± 648.81 ppm) throughout the incubation period compared with the other treatments. The quail droppings amendment provided more soil organic carbon and nutrients that were easily mineralized and assimilated by plants. At result, the quail droppings improve soil biological and chemical activities or the compost increase maize biomass yield.
