Nutrient retention capacity of rice husk biocharcoal in co-composted poultry manure

A waste by-product of local rice mill namely rice husk biocharcoal (RHC) was investigated for its effects in minimising nutrient losses and retaining nutrients during composting of poultry manure. Treated poultry manure was co-composted with RHC at two rates (10% and 5%) and determined for their com...
