3.5. Effects of compost on Kenaf growth parameters
Fig. 4 shows the physiological effects of compost on the observed growth parameters of Kenaf plant. There was a steady growth in leaf length, leaf breadth and stem height of H. cannabinus from week 1 to week 4. The stem thickness showed a slight increment in width during the four-week experiment. The leaf length and breadth increased by two times while the leaf height increased by 3 times.
