Abstract

Saragi H, Asriani E, Putri K. 2020. Optimization of palm oil cultivation in ultisol land through the planting of  mucuna bracteata.  Jurnal Lahan Suboptimal : Journal of Suboptimal Lands 9(2): 160-166.The utilization of ground cover crops is one way to optimize oil palm cultivation. The purpose of this study was to determine  the ability of the land cover to hold soil, hold fertilizer, and cover land growth on open and closed land.
