Morphology of padi soils in the Kelantan plain

This study investigates the macro and micromorphological features of selected padi soils in the Kelantan area and discusses their characteristics, genesis, and usage. Soil field morphology was characterized, and large-sized thin cuttings were used for micromorphological studies. The results show tha...

Description
Summary:This study investigates the macro and micromorphological features of selected padi soils in the Kelantan area and discusses their characteristics, genesis, and usage. Soil field morphology was characterized, and large-sized thin cuttings were used for micromorphological studies. The results show that soil morphology can explain the soil formation processes occurring in this area. These studies reveal that parent material and topography, through their influence on drainage, are the two most important factors that differentiate the soils."
