Effect of Composted Empty Oil Palm Fruit Bunches on the Growth and Yield of Amaranthus and Soil Physicochemical Properties

P.O. Oviasogie^*, E. Oko-Oboh, E.I. Eguagie

The effect of composted empty oil palm fruit bunches (EFB) on the growth and yield components of Amaranthus and soil physicochemical properties was evaluated at the Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR) main station. The composted EFB was applied at four different rates of 0, 10, 20, and 30 tons/ha. The experiment was replicated four tim...
