This environmental research focuses on comparing soil quality in mixed gardens growing coconuts and durian in Khosaba Subdistrict, Nayong District. The study examines soil moisture, pH level, temperature, and nutrient composition in areas where coconut and durian trees are grown. The results indicate that the soil moisture under durian trees is higher than under coconut trees. The average pH levels of the soil in both areas are the same. The temperature under coconut trees is higher than under durian trees. Regarding soil nutrients, the average nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) levels are equal for both coconut and durian trees, while the average potassium (K) level is higher in the soil under coconut trees than under durian trees.
