Megathyrsus maximus as a raw material for organic fertilizer production: A feasibility study
Technology in Horticulture, 2023 Megathyrsus maximus (Guinea grass) has a high potential for use as a raw material for organic fertilizer production. In the present study, leaf nutrient content and dry matter yield of naturally grown M. maximus under a coconut plantation were measured when harvested 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks after initial cutting to evaluate its feasibility.
