Classification and soil characteristics of the four soil [18] and
With the information on the morphological and physical characteristics of the soils of oil palm fields, actual oil palm yield data were collected and statistically analysed using one way statistical analysis (Anova). The Anova analysis evaluates if the four factors related to physical soil properties i.e. peat maturity, presence of wood, nature of underlying mineral substratum and depth have a significant impact on oil palm yield. The interaction of the above factors affecting oil palm yield is not covered in this study.
