Description
Summary:Satu kajian tentang biodegradasi pelbagai jenis sisa kelapa sawit, iaitu tandan kosong kelapa sawit, pelepah kelapa sawit dan batang kelapa sawit telah dijalankan dengan menggunakan cacing Eudrilus Eugeniae (cacing Africa) dan Eisenia Fetida (cacing merah). Berat cacing tanah dan jumlah kokon yang dihasilkan ditimbang dan dikaji setiap minggu. A study of the biodegradation of various palm oil mill wastes, viz. empty fruit bunch (EFB), oil palm frond (OPF), oil palm trunk (OPT) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) using earthworm species Eudrilus Eugeniae (E.eugeniae) and Eisenia fetida (E.fetida) was conducted under laboratory conditions. Earthworms were weighed weekly and the numbers of cocoons produced per week were assessed.
