Evaluation of Spatial Variability of Soil and Leaf Tissue Nutrient Status and Yield (Fresh Fruit Bunch) in an Oil Palm Plantation

The study was carried out at Dusun Durian Estate, Golden Hope Plantations Berhad Banting, Selangor, in a 50 ha plot which represents a coastal oil palm plantation. The general objective of this study was to obtain accurate and timely information about the spatial distribution and status of nutrie...
