Soil suitability assessment for harumanis mango cultivation in UiTM Arau, Perlis
Perlis is one of the largest mango producers in Malaysia cultivating Sala, Harumanis, Thong Dam, Thong Dam Burma, and Melele. Among those types, Harumanis is the most popular and loved by many because of its aroma, texture, and sweetness. The production of quality Harumanis mango depends on the inte...

Perlis is one of the largest mango producers in Malaysia cultivating Sala, Harumanis, Thong Dam, Thong Dam Burma, and Melele. Among those types, Harumanis is the most popular and loved by many because of its aroma, texture, and sweetness. The production of quality Harumanis mango depends on the intensive care that is needed by the plant itself such as soil suitability, and climatic factors; such as weather and temperature. The soil suitability is an important role as a nutrient source by plant in maximizing plant growth. The extremely hot and prolonged weather conditions in December 2015 due to El Nino phenomenon are influencing a production of Harumanis products in Perlis on 2016.
