Adsorption of metsulfuron-methyl on selected agricultural soils under oil palm plantation.

Abstract

In this study, the adsorption capacity of metsulfuron-methyl was examined on selected agricultural soils under oil palm plantation. The samples were collected from four agriculture soil series (Bernam, Tongkang, Selangor and Jawa) in Bukit Rotan Baru Division oil palm estate with 2 different depths: surface (0-10 cm) and bottom (20-30 cm). There are four different parameters which are involved in the chemical analysis of soil, which are: soil moisture content, soil pH, organic carbon content, and particle size distribution.
