Abstract
Soil fertility is the ability of soil to provide all essential nutrients which are important for the high quality growth of crops. In order to enhance the fertility of soil, fertilizers are used not only on crops planted at flat areas but also on ones planted at slope areas. This study looks into the impacts of different types of slopes on soil fertility movement of Harumanis mango by using Digital Elevation Model (DEM) which is generated by using UAV technology GIS. The main focuses of this research are to generate the flow accumulation from the data of: (1) DEM derived from UAV technology which is utilized in assessing soil fertility movement and (2) hydrology tool by evaluating the flow of water across different slopes to identify the soil fertility movement. The sample of soils from each level of slopes such as upper slope, middle slope and lower slope is obtained in order to determine the value of soil texture, soil pH, Potassium (K) and soil salinity. Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) tool in GIS is also used to gather interpolation of rainfall data. Using regression method, the relationship between each slope with the value of soil texture, soil pH, Potassium, soil salinity and rainfall data is generated. The findings suggested that the upper slope had the strongest relationship with the four elements compared to the lower slope. Hence, it can be concluded that the higher the slope, the higher the fertility of the soil.
