The effects of mulching towards soil physiochemical properties / Hadhinah Hasbullah
Mulching is a conventional and traditional agricultural practices that helps farmers to improve their yield production and maintaining their agricultural practices. It helps in reducing water usage and conserving the soil moisture. Organic mulching decomposed and supply nutrients towards the soil. T...
