Purpose Profiting from agricultural waste and lowering production costs for farmers have been made possible by the incorporation of bagasse and local resources as a substitute for sawdust. Method The experiment was using a CRD. Follows: Bagasse 100 % Bagasse: Rice straw (25:75%) Bagasse: Rice straw (50:50%) Bagasse: Rice straw (75:25%) Bagasse: Giant mimosa (25:75%) […]
Purpose: Soil nutrient depletion is an endemic factor that constitutes one of the greatest limitations to crop production in the tropics. Identifying high yielding kale varieties that thrive best with the most cost-effective fertilizer type can help meet the nutritional deficits of most families in Africa in line with WHO recommendations. The propose of this […]
Purpose Rice straw degradation in the soil is slow because of the high percentage of complex carbohydrates. Hence, farmers prefer to burn it in the agricultural field as a quicker alternative to the open burning of rice straw. Therefore, this study aims to characterize the bacteria from cow dung that can degrade rice straw. Method […]
Purpose: Waste and waste disposal is a universal problem and attention is required in all ways. The plant generated waste (leaf litter) is also a type of organic waste that creates multiple issues in urban areas. Method: Vermicomposting is a suitable alternative safe, hygienic, and cost-effective disposal of organic solid waste with the help of […]
Purpose No research has been published on the effect of chemical processing on the degradability and nutritional value of cumin residue. Chemical processing, such as urea, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen peroxide, has been widely investigated to increase the nutritional value of grain residues, but information on cumin residue is limited. The effects of untreated and […]
Purpose: This study analyzed the ability of Black Soldier Flies Larvae (BSFL) in reducing grease waste and the effect of variation in feed composition on the growth rate effect of larvae age at 8 days, 12 days, and 16 days. Method: Before reaching the specified age (8, 12, or 16 days), the larvae are fed […]
Purpose Maize (Zea mays L.) is a major crop grown and consumed in Nigeria but poor soil quality has resulted in low yield. This study assessed the quality of compost produced from agricultural wastes and its impact on the yield of Zea mays L. Method The composting process was carried out on a windrow (2 […]
Purpose Reusing agricultural waste as a substrate material for mushroom cultivation was considered a great alternative to bio-waste disposal. In this study, bamboo waste from a local skewer factory in Lampang Province, Thailand, was used as a substrate, along with the original material for the mycelial growth of Dictyophora indusiata mushroom. Method D. indusiata mycelia […]
Purpose: Fermented cow urine (cow bio urine) is used as an organic source of nutrients. This study aimed to determine the effect of various concentrations of cow bio urine as the organic nutrient source on the growth and yield of vegetable crops in hydroponic systems. Method: Research was conducted in a greenhouse at the University […]
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of starters made from cattle rumen and EM 4 on the decomposition of agricultural biomass wastes (rice straw, corncobs, and coffee husks). Method: Three types of starter i.e. starter from local cattle rumen (grass/straw feed), starter from the rumen of cattle farms (concentrate feed), EM 4 (factory […]
