Assessments of nutrients content in soil and leaves of harumanis mangoes and its relationship with the yield. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 1051. pp. 1-11. ISSN 1755-1315 (2022)
Abstract
Crop yield can determine the health of a tree based on the nutrient content applied by the farmers. Soil nutrients are essential for plant production. This research aims to study the relationship between the yields of Harumanis mango and the nutrient content in soil and leaves. Three (3) primary objectives are highlighted, namely: (1) to study the distribution of nutrients content in the soil; (2) to determine the relationship between the yields of Harumanis mango and nutrient content in soil and leaves; and (3) to identify the significant factors affecting the yields of Harumanis mango. The study area is in the UiTM Perlis branch. Overall, 25 samples have been collected with information on the coordinate position, crop yield and nutrient content; nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca). The Kriging method interpolated the distribution of nutrient content in the soil. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to study the relationship between yield and nutrient content in soil and leaves to determine which nutrients influenced the yield of Harumanis mango. The result shows only K and Ca in the leaves significantly contribute to the yield of Harumanis mango. The multiple linear regression model for the predicted yield of Harumanis mango is 347.974 – 51.426 (N% in leaves) – 550.225 (K% in leaves) + 86.672 (Ca% in leaves).
