GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF MAIZE AT RED-YELLOW PODZOLIC ACID SOIL AFTER OIL PALM EMPTY FRUIT BUNCHES COMPOST AND RICE HUSK CHARCOAL APPLICATION

Growth and yield performance of maize at red-yellow podzolic acid soil after oil palm empty fruit bunches compost and rice husk charcoal application

On acid soils, maize growth cannot be optimal because of the high content of Al, Fe, Mg, and Zn, which has the potential to poison plants.Several nutrients such as P, Cu, and S are also available in small quantities for plants, thus inhibiting growth.This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of oil palm empty fruit bunches compost and rice hu
