The study was conducted during 2019 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University to identify the functional groups, nutrient and proximate composition of residues such as groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) shell, coir (Cocos nucifera L.) pith and rice (Oryza sativa L.) husk. Proximate analysis of the residues showed that, moisture, ash content, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin were in the range of 2.1112.6, 6.117.3, 24.632.5, 13.121.4, and 15.630.2% respectively. Furthermore, nutrients including N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu were also analysed in all residues. The functional group analysis revealed the presence of significantly different hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The results showed that, cation-exchange reactions, water-retention capacity and other properties were attributed to the functional groups present in the crop-residual composition. Hence these residues turn out to be an environmental friendly and relatively simple to use in agriculture.References
