Soil quality of the tea and apple-growing sites in Mindat District, Chin state, Myanmar: A preliminary study
In this study, two sites from tea and apple growing sites were collected from Pyay village and Nine Mile village, Mindat district, Chin state of West Myanmar under a humid subtropical climate. The results of physicochemical properties of observed soils were neutral pH, favorable moisture, silty clay...
