Randomized trial investigates lignocellulolytic fungi effectiveness in biodegrading oil palm waste, highlighting optimal inoculum dosage.

This research aims to evaluate the biodegradation effectiveness of lignocellulolytic fungi on oil palm empty fruit bunch waste.
Used completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 x 3 factorial setup in three replications.
Tested single and consortium treatments of fungi including Rhizopus oryzae, Penicillium citrinum, and Aspergillus nidulans.
Examined various inoculum dosages: 0%, 5%, and 10%.
Rhizopus oryzae decreased C/N ratio by 35.78%, Penicillium citrinum by 27.02%, and Aspergillus nidulans by 21.60%.
The consortium decreased C/N ratio by 23.40%.
5% inoculum dosage led to the highest reduction in C/N ratio by 33.73% over 30 days.
