Efficacy of Palm Oil Mill Effluent (POME) in the Improvement and Sustainable Production of Leaf Amaranths (Amaranthus hybridus L)

Improved production of leaf vegetables becomes imperative due to their ability to act as supplements in the usual starchy diets of Africans. To make this task achievable, the use of POME is adopted because it is reportedly rich in essential nutrients, and more environmental friendlier than inorganic fertilizers. In this study, five treatments consisting of fresh POME were applied at the rate of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60 t/ha, and NPK 15-15-15 at 400 kg/ha was used for compares. Bed preparation, and othe
