Abstract

The research purposes: (1) Producing enriched compost of oil palm Empty Fruit Bunches (EFB) with coastal mud and rice husk biochar that is suitable for application to acid sulphate soils, (2) Getting the best dosage to increase acid sulphate soil fertility. The method used: complete random design (CRD) factorial pattern, the first factor composition of enriched oil palm EFB compost, second factor: doses of compost enriched. Data analysis using analysis of Varian (ANOVA), significant differences continued with Honestly Signiant Difference Test (HSD). The variables observed were: soil pH H2O, Each-Al, Total-N, Bray-P and each-K. The results showed: compost oil palm EFB treatment significantly affected the each-K, whilst did not significantly affect the pH H2O, Total-N, Bray-P and each-Al. Although enriched compost treatment did not significantly, and the finding is the treatment enriched compost trend to increased pH H2O, Total-N and Bray-P. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
