Development and evaluation of organic biofertilizer using oil palm empty fruit bunch as composted medium for vegetable gardening

In Malaysia, the oil palm industries generate approximately 90 million tonnes of renewable biomass each year. The l;;mpty fruit bunch (EFB) contributes the highest amount of solid waste from this industry. Various studies were conducted on managing the solid waste such as EFB by means of composting...
