Abstract

Fungal species of Trichoderma viride isolated from compost was used in solid fermentation of oil palm empty fruit bunch EFB incubated at 30 deg C. Humic acid was extracted using a mixture of 0.1 M sodium pyrophosphate and sodium hydroxide pH 13. Humic acid can be extracted with considerable yield after about 3-4 weeks solid fermentation of EFB with t. viride. Chemical analysis and microscopic observation of the humic acid from this study showed a similar quality as those reported by other researchers in the literature.
