    Abstract


    This study aimed to assess the influence of organic fertilizer (OF) and lime application on selected soil physicochemical properties - namely soil pHH2O, soil organic matter (SOM), available phosphorus (P), and  bulk density - as well as on fruit yield and aril proportion of durian cultivated under acid sulfate soil conditions  (pHH2O < 5.0). The experiment comprised four treatments: (i) control, (ii) OF applied at 25kg tree−1 year−1, (iii) lime applied at 10kg CaO tree−1 year−1, and (iv) a combined treatment of OF (25kg tree−1 year−1) and lime (10kg  CaO tree−1 year−1). The field trial was conducted over a 1-year period (June 2023 - May 2024) in a Ri6 durian orchard located in Truong Long commune, Can Tho city. The combined application of OF and lime significantly improved soil chemical and physical attributes, as evidenced by increased pHH2O, higher available P and SOM contents, and reduced bulk density, indicating enhanced soil structure. This amendment increased fruit yield and a higher aril proportion. Correlation analysis further revealed positive relationships between yield and key soil fertility indicators (pHH2O, SOM, and available P). The findings underscore the effectiveness of integrating organic amendments with liming to improve acidic soils and promote sustainable durian production.
