摘要

Intensive use of inorganic fertilizersInorganic fertilizer contribute to environmental contamination and soil deterioration. Animal wastesWaste and bio-char have been used for compostCompost preparationPreparation. In this study, compostCompost made from bio-wastes with a ratio of 6:3:1 (kitchen wastesWaste: corn cob: palm oil mill sludge, and fly ashFly ash) was compared with inorganic fertilizerInorganic fertilizer. The aim was to produce amended compostCompost to replace inorganic fertilizersInorganic fertilizer. Physico-chemical properties were determined. Results show that compared with inorganic fertilizerInorganic fertilizer, the compostCompost had superior properties for environmental sustainabilitySustainability.
