Evaluating and comparing the soil properties of Drio Zibethinus in the districts of Pasir Mas and Jeli, Kelantan.

This study investigates the soil characteristics that affect the development of Durio zibethinus (durian) in the Pasir Mas and Jeli districts of Kelantan, Malaysia. Durian, known for its distinct taste and scent, was a prominent agricultural commodity in Malaysia. However, its production has difficulties associated with soil quality. The objective of this research was to assess and contrast the soil properties of various areas in order to improve durian cultivation. The results of our study indicate that the soil in Jeli has a greater concentration of organic matter and improved drainage in comparison to Pasir Mas, which was distinguished by elevated nutrient levels. The soil research revealed that the average pH of Jeli's soil was 6.5, suggesting a slightly acidic climate that was favorable for durian cultivation. On the other hand, Pasir Mas had a pH of 7.0. The variations in these characteristics are directly related to the growth measurements of durian trees. This research establishes a correlation between soil qualities and durian development, offering useful information for local farmers. It suggests that managing soil conditions might result in increased fruit output and improved quality. This study has ramifications that go beyond local practices and contribute to a greater knowledge of sustainable agricultural methods in durian growing. The primary objective of this effort was to facilitate the conversion of Kelantan's durian plantations into agricultural systems that are both more efficient and environmentally sustainable.
