Oil palm empty fruit bunch biochar fertilizer as a solution to increasing the fertility of peat soil for sustainable agriculture by Sri Nuryani Hidayah Utami, Uray Suci Yulies Vitri Indrawati

“…RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT  ·       The area of oil palm plantations in Indonesia is increasing, and the waste produced is increasing and has not been widely used. ·       Peat soil which has many physical and chemical constraints to cultivate requires ameliorant and fertilizer. ·       Empty fruit bunches biochar has special properties such as a porous structure, and a relatively large surface area with various functional groups, hence it has the potential as an ameliorant to increase the fertility of marginal soils including peat, and increase the growth and production of oil palm. ·       The biochar that was made of waste of oil palm fruit empty fruit bunches by pyrolysis combined with chicken manure and urea significantly improved the peat soil quality, plant growth, and NPK uptake of oil palm seeds.…”
