Abstract
The objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of food waste compost application on Chinese cabbage growth and soil chemical properties. For field experiment, seven different treatments (livestock compost (LC), livestock compost + chemical fertilizer (NPK), food waste compost (FWC), food waste compost + chemical fertilizer, food waste compost + livestock compost (FWC+LC), food waste compost + livestock compost + chemical fertilizer, and control) were applied to Chinese cabbage grown field. All the treatment were carried out in 3 replicates with completely randomized design. Treatment of FWC+LC+NPK showed highest values in all parameters (leaf length, leaf width, chlorophyll contents, fresh and dry weight) of Chinese cabbage. Especially fresh and dry weight of Chinese cabbage treated with FWC+LC+NPK showed two times higher values compared to control. The electrical conductivity, organic matter, and cation exchange capacity in soils treated with both FWC and LC showed significant increase compared to control, while pH, and available P2O5 content did not.
