Towards Sustainable Management of Pineapple Residues

Studies were conducted to: (i) Investigate the effect of the modification of the existing N, P, and K programme and residue management practice on pineapple fruit yield, (ii) Compare the economic viability of in situ decomposition of pineapple residues untouched (lDPR), i.e. stacking of pineapple...
