Water scarcity is an important obstacle to the development and expansion of urban landscape in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Nowadays organic and artificial materials can be used to reducing water consumption without reducing the quality and quantity of urban landscape. In order to study of the effect of some mulch type on the reduce of irrigation interval on a popular seasonal p...

Three palm species common to southern California landscapes were grown and established under mulch treatments. Turfgrass clippings and Eucalyptus sideroxylon mulches increased the growth of king and queen palms and increased survival of king palms. Although palms growing under fresh eucalyptus mulches did not display nutrient de®ciency symptoms, Mexican fan palm and queen palm were not signi®ca...

Sugar palm is a multi-purpose plant that can be processed into various products when it 15 years old. Palm plants are no longer productive but still contain starch in the stems, generally, they cut down and further flour. flour production activities produce liquid waste solid waste. The generated to 1.7 tons of 4.3 tons. Liquid discharged directly river. Meanwhile, allowed accumulate around pro...

This study aims to make sheet organic mulch from several agricultural wastes and determine the best type of material for making mulch. research was carried out at Greenhouse Faculty Agriculture Laboratory Agrotechnology, Agriculture, Samudra University, Langsa City, Aceh Province which took place February April 2021.This used a non-factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with four replicat...

in this research work, the effects of natural fibers such as date palm fiber (df) and jute fiber (jf) on bending properties of polypropylene (pp)/ ethylene–propylene–diene–monomer (epdm) thermoplastic elastomers are investigated. for this purpose, the date palm and jute fibers at five levels of fiber weight fractions (0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 wt. %) are utilized during composite fabrication. maleic ...

This study aims to investigate the ultraviolet (UV) absorption property of palm fiber and to reveal the mechanism underlying its UV-shielding behavior. The UV spectra of various solvent extracts of palm fiber were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV spectra were used to analyze the treated palm fiber, 100% α-cellulose, and raw palm fiber. The UV absorbances of pa...

agricultural waste fibers have been found to be suitable as reinforcement in cement-based composites, but studies on oil palm fiber as reinforcement in gypsum-cement wall panels are scarce. a mixture of two equal weights of gypsum and cement, with water-binder ratios of 0.45 and 0.55 were prepared. in each mix a varying percentage of fiber contents of 2%, 3% and 4% by weight of the binders were...

during the past two decades the use of lignocellouse fibers in reinforcing composites has attracted much research activities. in the present work, date palm fiber was used for production of composites compatible withliving environment. the fibers were pre-treated chemically to remove impurities. in order to verify and compare the effectiveness of the pretreatment methods, lignin, ash, moisture ...

Abstract The palm oil industry is one that significantly contributes to the Indonesian economy. Indonesia’s exports keep increasing every year. In addition producing CPO, also produces solid, liquid and gaseous waste. resulting waste can pollute environment. Solid from consists of empty fruit bunches, juice fiber, kernel cake, shells other solid Of various types produced, bunches (EFB) largest ...
