Oil palm tree nutrient management

  Oil palm trees: tropical crops, like high temperature, no wind and low temperature, etc., for the production of fruit trees, generally three to four years began to fruiting. Its nutrition management is divided into two stages: growing trees and mature trees.

To growing tree: saplings mainly with high nitrogen-based with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, the proposed 30-10-10 type of recipe, with 2-3 kg per acre of mono potassium  phosphate. Can be once every quarter, each time per acre (12-15 trees) 10-20KG.

Two adult trees: adult tree hi high temperature and humidity, non-resistant non-drought resistance to low temperature (critical point of 15 degrees), prefer potassium, before the flowering recommended 1-2 times high nitrogen fertilizer 30-10-10 (1:500 ratio foliar spray) to promote flower bud differentiation, fruit to high potassium fertilizer, especially like potassium nitrate 13-0-46 or 12-4-40 of the two Recipe, foliage appropriate to add calcium fertilizer; finished fruit to balance fertilizer with potassium dihydrogen phosphate 2-3KG per acre mainly.

  Note: oil palm trees like PH4-6 soil, if the soil acidification, it is recommended to use alkaline water fertilizer to adjust.
