The Soil Science research
focuses on the soil-plant relationship.
The Department makes a substantial contribution with regard
to determining optimal soil management of the various
economical crops.
Aspects which are being addressed by the Department include:
Fertilization recommendations, and assist growers with
advise on land preparation, irrigation and drainage, as well
as supports all on-going agricultural research activities of
CELOS, and conduct analyses concerning soil-, plant-,
water-, and animal feed samples.
In addition to this, the Soil
Science Laboratory also determines the physical properties
of soil samples. The lab also takes soil samples when this
is requested. The lab not only
facilitates lecturers, but students as well. Head of this
division is Mrs. A. Soetosenojo, who tries to participate in
projects, which need some kind of analyses. |
