Determination and mapping of calcium and magnesium contents using geostatistical techniques in oil palm plantation related to basal stem rot disease

The basal stem rot (BSR) disease has been reported as the most destructive disease of oil palms in Southeast Asia. Adequate contents of nutrient in soil and leaf helps improve the plant health and its productivity. This study aims to determine the spatial variability of calcium (Ca) and magnesium (M...
