GROUNDWATER LEVEL INFLUENCE ON SELECTED SOIL AND GROUNDWATER PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES IN AN OIL PALM PLANTATION

Groundwater management such as drainage are required in agricultural land for crop cultivation, which removes excess water from within the soil by lowering the groundwater level (GWL) (Hillel, 2007). Drainage is required to facilitate respiration of plant roots in peatland for agricultural use, regu...
