prepared from empty fruit bunches and palm oil mill effluent was obtained from Asia Green Environmental Sdn. Bhd., Malaysia. Compost tea was prepared according to the method described in Naidu et al. (2010). Compost and microbial starter were mixed in a muslin cloth bag. The compost was then soaked in water in a 1:5 w/v (compost:water) ratio for three days at 25 ± 2 C using a 20 l brewing tank fitted with an aquarium pump for continuous aeration. Yeast extract (7g) and humic acid (4g) were incorporated into compost (100g) and were used as a carbon and nitrogen supplements respectively for enrichment of bacterial and fungal growth in the Compost tea. A combination of these two supplements (4 g 100 g-1 of compost) was used as a microbial starter. The microbial starter was incorporated during the brewing process to enhance microbial proliferation (Naidu et al. 2010).
