Abstract | The aim of this research was to comprehend the impacts of fertilizers in fostering sustainable agriculture, aiming to enhance crop output while safeguarding the environment. Investigating the effects of chemical fertilizers and chicken compost on mung bean yield and soil chemical properties, six treatments were administered across “KUML4” mung bean. Statistical analysis revealed substantial variations in soil pH, electrical conductivity, and organic matter content among the treatments. Notably, the exclusive use of chemical fertilizers triggered a 9.9% increase in soil electrical conductivity, accompanied by decreases in pH and organic matter content. Conversely, chicken compost stabilized pH levels in slightly acidic soils and significantly boosted soil organic matter. Optimal mung bean yield, experiencing a 31% increase compared to the control treatment, was achieved by combining 75% chemical fertilizers with 25% chicken compost. Crucially, synergizing chicken compost with chemical fertilizers notably improved soil chemical properties, while a combination of 75% chemical fertilizers and 25% chicken compost optimized mung bean yield. These findings highlight the potential of integrating chicken compost with chemical fertilizers as a promising strategy for sustainable agriculture, emphasizing both soil chemical enhancement and yield improvement. |
