Abstract
A trial plot of agroforestry system was established on BRIS soil at SPL FRIM Setiu. It involved the planting of forest tree species with agriculture crops like herbs used for medicinal purpose. The planting site was compartmentalized into 0.5 ha plots. Each compartments were planted with different species. The species planted were Acacia spp Khaya senegalesis Hopea odorata Gigantochloa levis Eurycoma longifolia Cymbopogon nardus Sandoricum koetjape and Melaleuca cajuputi. The plant growth varied due to their tolerance to this harsh soil condition wich ranged from highly tolerance to barely surviving. Block planting with heterogenous plant species was beneficial where enhancement of soil nutrient contents through nutrient cycle and biological pest control was achieved. The site had two level of soil productivity and two level elevation. Selection of species-site matching was crucial for successful planting. Application of organic materials in the planting media and fertilization enhanced the plant growth and yield. Weeding watering and fertilizer application were important at the early stage of establishment.
