Article Synopsis
- Peat replacement is increasingly needed in farming due to environmental issues linked to peat use.
- This study explores the effectiveness of using a specific mix of green compost and palm fiber trunk waste as alternatives for growing tomato, melon, and lettuce in organic farming.
- Results indicate that a substrate mix of 20% green compost, 39% palm fiber, and 31% peat yields the best plant growth, demonstrating that mixture design and surface response methodology can effectively optimize substrate formulations.
