Composting for a More Sustainable Palm Oil Waste Management: A Systematic Literature Review

Review of the development of the EFB compost application.

Methods	Dosage	Results	References
Mulching with planting beds with the size of 2.6 m × 0.8 m with a distance of 0.5 m (planting holes 0.6 × 0.6 m)	20–60 ton/ha	The application of 60 tons of EFB compost was the highest yield in young mature compared to other treatments in the postmining land. The application of EFB compost also reduced the increase in metals, specifically Pb	[90]
Mulching	1.5–2 kg/plot	The application of several doses of EFB compost showed significant differences in all parameters: plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, root volume, and fresh weight of crop consumption. The dosage of 1.5 kg plot^−1 to 2 kg plot^−1 showed the best growth and production in mustard plants	[91]
Mulching (soil mixing of growing media)	1:2 (compost: growing media)	The addition of leaves on chili and corn plants with EFB compost was faster than urea and ordinary soil, while the weight of plants with compost was greater than urea and soil	[92]
Mulching in inceptisol soil pH 5.2	3–12 ton/ha	The administration of several doses of EFB compost showed different effects on the parameters of plant height, plant fresh weight, and fresh weight of plants fit for consumption. The application of EFB compost at a dose of 9 tons/ha is the best dose for producing pakcoy plants	[93]
Mulching (soil mixing growing media)	37.5 g–112. 5 g per polybag with the size of 35 cm × 40 cm	The combination of EFB compost significantly affected seedling height, number of leaves, root volume, root crown ratio, and dry weight of 4 months old palm oil seedlings. The best treatment was shown by the combination of 112.5 g per polybag EFB compost with 18 and 27 g per polybag dolomite on inceptisol soil	[94]
