Abstract
Pineapple leaf biochar (PLB) could improve the agronomic and nutritional content of MD2 pineapple while reducing the use of compound fertilizer. Results indicated that treatment T4 with a 1:1 combination of PLB and compound fertilizer was the most successful treatment for MD2 pineapple cultivation on alluvial soil. It increased plant dry biomass and fruit yield to 718.22 g and 80%, respectively. This study highlighted the viability of utilizing and recycling pineapple leaf residues as a soil amendment, which increased nutrient content in alluvial soil and MD2 pineapple crop.
