Increasing the organic matter content of an Oxisol using rice husk compost : changes in decomposition and its chemistry.
About 116 million Mg of rice husk, a byproduct of rice milling, are produced worldwide annually. Rice husk could be used as a soil amendment, but little attention has been given to the effect of its application and dynamic properties in soils. A study was, therefore, conducted to determine: (i) the...
