Abstract
Sugarcane filter cake is a by-product of the sugarcane industry, which has the potential to use as a soil amendment. Therefore, the study of the effects of sugarcane filter cake (a waste product) on soil chemical properties of soil series group No.35 was conducted from April to August 2020. The soil samples were collected at 0-25 cm depth from 2 sites in Sansai district, Chiang Mai province. Six treatments were laid out in a completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications consisting of 1) control (no sugarcane filter cake, C) and follows with 2 - 6 by different rates of sugarcane filter cake at 500, 1,000, 1,500, 3,000, and 4,500 kg/rai, respectively. The sugarcane filter cake was mixed well with soil and incubated for 12 weeks at room temperature. The result showed that the sugarcane filter cake rate at 4,500 kg/rai caused the highest soil pH after 2 weeks of incubation and slightly decreased till the end at 12 weeks in both sites of soil samples. Interestingly, the sugarcane filter cake rate at 4,500 kg/rai provided the highest amount of organic matter, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, and zinc contents in soil series group No. 35 at both sites after 12 weeks of incubation. This study revealed that the sugarcane filter cake could be used as a soil amendment to improve soil fertility and some soil chemical properties of the soil series group No. 35.
