<![CDATA[This study aimed to evaluate the effects of solid oil palm waste application and mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) varietal differences on growth and yield performance in red-yellow podzolic soils in Bengkulu, Indonesia. A factorial experiment was conducted using a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The two factors tested were four levels of solid waste application (0, 10, 15, and 20 tons/ha) and three mung bean varieties (Vima 2, Vima 4, and Vima 5). Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The results showed that solid waste application significantly improved plant height, number of pods per plant, pod weight, and seed weight per plant. Variety also had a significant effect on plant height at 56 days after planting. No significant interaction was observed between the two factors. Overall, the application of 20 tons/ha of solid waste resulted in the highest improvements in agronomic parameters. Among the tested varieties, Vima 5 demonstrated the best overall performance. These findings suggest that using solid oil palm waste at an optimal dose can enhance mung bean productivity in red-yellow podzolic soils, supporting sustainable agricultural practices.]]>
