Abstract

The previous field trials on Sago palm cultivation in Malaysian peat under Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) fertilizers application failed to produce a positive growth response. Consequently, the comparative studies reported herein were carried out on peat and mineral soils, both strongly acidic (pH
