热带土壤科学 Master in Tropical Soil Science

The soil in tropical areas such as Malaysia is highly weathered, has an imbalance of nutrients, and is often eroded due to high rainfall. Therefore, countries with tropical soil need highly skilled workforce in sustainable tropical soil management so that soil fertility can be protected, maintained, and improved to obtain high crop yields. The Master in Tropical Soil Science program is specifically designed with a focus on the chemical, biological, physical and fertility aspects of tropical soils as well as methods of conservation, survey, and classification of tropical soils. Emphasis is also given to the economic aspects of resources, precision agriculture and agricultural biotechnology.
