Determination of nutrient availability in soil treated with agricultural chemical in cocoa plantation (R&D of Malaysian Cocoa Board Hilir Perak) / Nor'aqilah Mat Nawawi

Economics of cocoa in Malaysia was declining from time to time. The government was recommending for applying chemical such as pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer is the best way to improve quality and quantity of yield in cocoa plantations. The accumulation of trace elements in the soil to restrict...
