Code :
TEM/WC17/2001
Title :
To investigate the use of AA+Mulch to reduce the frequency of fertilizer application in year2 and year3 of oil palm plantings(10ha-Ladang Landak)
Objectives :
1) To reduce the number of circle weeding rounds during the first 2 years of oil palm planting.
2) To reduce the manuring frequency to only just one round at time of planting for year 1 and a subsequent round during year 2 of field planting.
