Nutrients dynamics in pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) planted peat soil under fluctuating water table / Nur Qursyna Boll Kassim

Peat soil was renowned for its low nutrient availability which limits its potential for extensive agriculture use. Continuous shifting of aerobic and anaerobic condition due to fluctuating water table could lead to biogeochemical changes of the soil that could affect the cycling of nutrients in the...
