Magnetic nanoparticles were obtained from natural sands of Sungai Suci beach, Pondok Kelapa District, Bengkulu Tengah Regency, Bengkulu Province through ball milling process. The natural sand was dried under the sun prior to…
ABSTRACT The nonoptimal land use due to the nutrient content in the soil results in not maximal agricultural production. For that, it is necessary to know whether the plant nutrition in the soil is sufficient or not. Measurement of micronutrients in the soil is a very important process to determine soil fertility and the adequacy of plant needs for essential nutrients in its growth. One of…
