Abstract
In the production of liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) for organic vegetable production, the portion of tithonia leaves determined LOF nutrient compositions. Results showed that P and C-organic contents were significantly affected by the portion of tithonia leaves, yet pH, N-total, K, Ca-ex., and Mg-ex were insignificantly affected. Treatment with 12.5 % of tithonia leaves had the highest P content, followed by 7.5, 5, and 10 % tithonia leaves. The highest organic C content was found in LOF with 12.5 %, trailed by those of 10, 7.5 and 5 % tithonia leaves. The percentage of tithonia leaves in the production was increased P and C-organic content. The best portion of tithonia leaves for LOF production was 12.5 % of composting materials
