Source/Author: E. Mutert, T.H. Fairhurst and H.R. von Uexküll
Description: An article was published in the Better Crops International journal, written by Mutert et al (1999) pertaining to techniques for land preparation, nursery establishment and planting procedures on peat soils...

Abstract:

The special soil physicochemical characteristics of deep tropical peat soils and their environments are documented in order to explain the need for adequate drainage, compaction and nutrition in oil palm development on these “problem soils.” Successful techniques of land preparation, nursery establishment, and planting procedures are presented together with fertilizer recommendations and yield response on peat soils in comparison to mineral soils.
