Use of ammonium-enriched skim latex serum to compost rubber biomass wastes and its effect on planting Brassica alboglabra

Ammonium-enriched skim latex serum - used for absorption of contaminating ammonia gas - when composted with other rubber tree wastes, is promising as a good compost. The objective of this research was to utilize ammonium-enriched skim latex serum (S) as a raw composting ingredient after being combin...
