The highest rice yield for the 2nd season was 7.5 tlha obtained by T6 (Table 4). For this treatment, we had applied 4 t GMUha in combination with 0.25 tlha rice husk-based organic fertilizer (JITU). This yield is comparable to the yield of rice grown on good soils in the granary areas of the west coast of the peninSUla. Note that the national average for Malaysia is only 3.8 tlha. It was observed that the yield obtained by T6 was not significantly different from that of the T3, T4 and T5. There was indication that applying 2 t GMLlha (T2) is not enough to ameliorate the soil for rice cultivation. As Table 3 shows, for the T2, the pH was still low (3.99) and Al was very high (10.22 cmolJkg soil). For T7, where 4 t GMLlha were applied in combination with fused magnesium phosphate, the yield was not significantly different from that of the T6. It means that instead of using organic fertilizer, farmers in that area can apply lime together with fused magnesium phosphate. The Malaysian government gives farmers in the Kelantan PlAin this kind of phosphate fertilizer as a form of subsidy to increase rice production. The
