Herbicide weed control increases nutrient leaching compared to mechanical weeding in a large-scale oil palm plantation

<p>Nutrient leaching in intensively managed oil palm plantations can diminish soil fertility and water quality. There is a need to reduce this environmental footprint without sacrificing yield. In a large-scale oil palm plantation in Acrisol soil, we quantified nutrient leaching using a full f...
