Influence of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) on growth and yield performance of Brazilian spinach (Alternanthera sissoo)

The presence of abundant oil palm residues in Malaysia prompted the need to utilize this waste to avoid environmental pollution. Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a thick, brownish liquid effluent comprising large amounts of solids and high organic content, convertible into a valuable source of bioma...

Among all the measured parameters significantly (P≤0.05) the highest plant height (30.68 cm), maximum numbers of branches (14.50), maximum numbers of leaves (60.50), canopy coverage area (29.13 cm2), highest growth rate (78.0%), maximum fresh weight (330 g) and maximum dry weight (79.63 g) all were achieved from the Brazilian spinach grown under T1, followed by T2 and T3.
