1. Early Detection of Oil Palm Fungal Disease Infestation Using A Mid-Infrared Spectroscopy TechniqueBasal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma boninense is known as the most destructive disease of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia. Ganoderma could potentially reduce the market share of palm oil for Malaysia. Currently Malaysia produces about 50% of the world’s supply of palm oil. Early, accurate, and non-destructive diagnosis of Ganoderma fungal infection is critical for management of this disease. Early disease management of Ganoderma could also prevent great losses in production and... S. Liaghat, S. Mansor, H. Shafri, S. Meon, R. Ehsani, S. Azam, N. Noh |
2. Impact of Variable Rate Fertilization on Nutrients Losses in Surface Runoff for Wild Blueberry FieldsWild blueberry producers apply agrochemicals uniformly without considering substantial variation in soil properties, topographic features that may affect fruit yield within field. A wild blueberry field was selected to evaluate the impact of variable rate (VR) fertilization on nutrient losses in surface runoff from steep slope to low lying areas to improve crop... S.
