Fertiliser responses of monocrop cocoa in Peninsular Malaysia on a Munchong series soil

Nawi Che Yusoff, . and Leong C.W., . (1986) Fertiliser responses of monocrop cocoa in Peninsular Malaysia on a Munchong series soil. [Proceedings Paper]

This paper presented the results on the growth and yield response of cocoa to fertiliser application on Munchong series soil an oxisol under inland conditions in Peninsular Malaysia. There was no significant response in growth and yield to N P and K applications during the early years due to the poor growing conditions. Starting from the fourth year and continuing to the eighth year of harvest significant yield responses were obtained with P but not with N or K. These responses were concurrent with observations of previous workers. The responses also corresponded well with the leaf and soil nutrient levels suggesting that leaf and soil analyses could be a useful tool for fertiliser recommendations in cocoa

Abstract

This paper presented the results on the growth and yield response of cocoa to fertiliser application on Munchong series soil an oxisol under inland conditions in Peninsular Malaysia. There was no significant response in growth and yield to N P and K applications during the early years due to the poor growing conditions. Starting from the fourth year and continuing to the eighth year of harvest significant yield responses were obtained with P but not with N or K. These responses were concurrent with observations of previous workers. The responses also corresponded well with the leaf and soil nutrient levels suggesting that leaf and soil analyses could be a useful tool for fertiliser recommendations in cocoa
