Characteristics of compost and biochar from coffee husk waste and their effect on coffee plant growth
Main Article Content
Abstract
The results showed that coffee husk compost for 6 weeks gave higher yields and significantly increased stem diameter, leaf area, wet weight, and dry weight of biomass per plant compared to 2 weeks of composting. Utilization of coffee husk waste as biochar with an application of 10 t ha‾¹ gave the highest yield and significantly increased plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, wet weight, and dry weight of biomass per plant compared to no biochar. In the application of 10 tons of biochar per hectare, there was an increase of 13.22%, 28.65%, and 15.81% compared to no biochar, respectively in plant height, wet weight, and the highest dry weight of the total biomass per plant.
