The viability of compost and biochar bacteria through total count within different size group / Nur Aishah Mohd Yusof
Biochar and compost as a soil amendment has potential increased the soil pH and improve plant growth. Biochar has many agricultural benefits. It increases crop yield. It helps to enhance the number of bacteria that will help in degradation process that will help in soil fertility. It helps to preven...

The colonies of bacteria were counted by using the colony forming unit or CFU method.
