Nitrogen Economy of a Sandy Soil under Groundnut Maize Cropping Sequence at Kuala Brang, Trengganu

Groundnut crops have been cultivated on sandy alluvial soil (> 900ha) in Kuala Brang, ,malaysia since 1971. They are grown in rotation with rice or maize under village level technology. using minimum amount of fertilizer nitrogen. To monitor changes in total soil N and the amount of N removed b...
