A proper fertilizer and crop management practices are required. An attempt was made to convert this land into a sustainable production land for pineapple. Therefore, the objective of the study was to determine the effect of foliar copper fertilizer on the growth and fruit quality of pineapple cv. N36, for fresh consumption planted in Entisol type BRIS soil at the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The complete randomized design （CRD） method with three replications was used at 0 to 6.6 kg.ha^-1 of copper sulfate. Results demonstrated that the unpleasant effect of BRIS soil on brix value was restored with copper fertilizer. The most suitable quantity of foliar copper fertilizer for pineapple cv. N36 planted in Entisol type BRIS are between 1.6 to 3.3 kg.ha^-1 of copper sulfate.展开更多
