The study aims to evaluate the effects of palm oil mill waste on soil and nutrient characteristics of Gongronema latifolium.
Soil and leaf samples collected from three locations (P0-control, P1, P2)
Chemical characteristics analyzed using standard procedures
Comparison of nutrient content between locations
Soil pH decreased with distance from the palm oil mill, with values of 7.40 and 7.20 at P1 and P2 respectively compared to 5.30 at control.
Potassium, sodium, and organic matter significantly increased at P1 and P2 compared to control (P < 0.05).
Nutrient contents in leaves significantly increased for potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sodium at P1 and P2 compared to control.
