Evaluation of the Dressed Soil Applied in Mountainous Agricultural Land

Farmers typically apply the dressed soil (coarse saprolite)for various reasons in the sloped upland with high altitude in Kangwon province. However, little researches in the impacts of application of dressed soil in uplands were conducted. Therefore, it is necessary to assess soil quality in this ar...

Summary:Farmers typically apply the dressed soil (coarse saprolite)for various reasons in the sloped upland with high altitude in Kangwon province. However, little researches in the impacts of application of dressed soil in uplands were conducted. Therefore, it is necessary to assess soil quality in this area and to study adverse effects on soil and water due to application of dressed soil. Coarse saprolite it self showed significantly poor chemical properties.
