dc.description.abstractExtremely growing number of population and the lack of fertile arable land has forced the agricultural sector to utilize less suitable land such as areas with sandy soil, which is well known to have little water-holding capacity and this aspect will only be worsened caused by prolonged dry weather due to climate change. To address these problems, experimental composite products have been developed and tested in small pot model experiments. In the experiment, fermented chicken manure was used as an organic fertilizer and mixed with additives (SAPs and bentonite) to improve its properties and enhance soil nutrient status and plant growth. Cucumber was used as an indicator plant, which has a high water demand and is sensitive to water shortage. Results from the pot experiment indicated that this combination showed an encouraging effect with significant differences in the aspect of total wet biomass, soil pH, and chlorophyll content when compared to the control, but there were no significant differences in the aspect of plant length, dry biomass, soil EC, ammonium content in soil and carotenoid content in the plant. In general, it can be concluded that chicken manure with the combination of soil additives can improve soil characteristics and plant growth, thus their application should be encouraged although further proof should be validated with data obtained from field trials.
