Application of waste raw and composted recycled paper mill sludge on orthosiphon stamineus and its effects on heavy metals in soil

The paper industry plays a major role in the global economy of the world. A study was conducted on the waste paper mill sludge applied on the Orthosiphon stamineus for 4 crop cycle for 1 year growth at Glasshouse, Faculty of Agriculture, Universiti Putra Malaysia. Waste Paper Mill Sludge (PMS) and w...
