Purpose Scarcity of effective manures frustrates the adoption of organic-based soil fertility management in tropical agriculture. Cattle dung (CD) is hugely generated but underutilised due to its high carbon-nitrogen ratio and low mineralisation rate compared with poultry droppings (PD), hence the need to enhance CD’s efficacy. Method Effects of CD utilisation options on fertility of […]
Purpose: Fresh palm oil-mill effluent (POME) is toxic and when added to agricultural soils often inhibits plant growth. In this study, the prospects of temporal fermentation of POME with aging in enhancing its organo-fertilizer value before application to low-fertility soils were evaluated. Method: Fresh and aged (6-12 months old) POME method were used to […]
