This environmental research aims to study soil quality in salted and non-salted areas of aromatic coconut cultivation at Wichienmatu School. The study examines the effects of adding salt to the soil by comparing the soil quality between salted and non-salted areas within the school's coconut plantation.
The results indicate that adding salt does not directly impact soil salinity levels but affects nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, which tend to decrease. Meanwhile, potassium levels show a slight increase. Additionally, slight changes in soil pH, moisture content, and temperature were observed, which may influence the dissolution of minerals in the soil.However, these changes have not yet caused significant effects on the short-term growth of aromatic coconut trees.
