Assessmnet of Management Practices of Oil Palm Cultivation on Peat for Smallholder around the Peatland of Raja Musa Forest Reserve

This thesis performs the information of existing management practices practiced by the smallholders who cultivate their oil palm plantation around Raja Musa Forest Reserve through surveying. The face to face interview of survey was conducted randomly on the smallholders found in the study area The c...
