fertiliser MANAGEMENT FOR adolescent OIL PALM PLANTED ON AN INLAND TERRACED SOIL 314 by: ZIN Z ZAKARIA; KHAIRUMAN, H and TARMIZI, A M W MPOB TT No. 307 MPOB INFORMATION series ISSN 1511-7871 JUNE 2006 ith the current labour shortage, to cut down the rounds of fertiliser application, unders anoint placement ( bury) has attracted much entertain, especially in remote areas and on undulating terrain. This is mainly due to the flightiness that burying the fertiliser is as trenchant as broadcasting it with minify run-off losses. Foster and Goh (1975) recommended that fertilizers be broadcasted to increase their contact with the feeding roots. In Sabah, Soon and Hoong (2002) found that burying fertilizer offered no advantage all over broadcasting even for immature to ii-year-old ribbons. In fact, Broeshart (1959) found that burying fertilizer at 10 cm depth reduced uptake considerably. In view of the different responses obtained and continued interest of the industry in undersoil placement of fertilizers, a study was conducted by MPOB to compare various compound and at once fertilizers in two methods of applications on immature oil bay wreath on an inland soil.

METHODS OF plant food PLACEMENT With the excommunication of the control plots, all the fertilizers were bury, in trio pockets (10-15 cm deep) about 1.5 m from the palm. In the control plots, the fertilizers were broadcast inwardly the weeded tidy sum (GCB). The palm performance was evaluated by their vegetational addition, FFB yield, and thumb solid nutrient content. OIL PALM mathematical operation AS AFFECTED BY FERTILIZER PLACEMENT The palms at 60 months subsequently planting (MAP) showed better crop with the compound fertilizers broadcast (GCB) than all the fertilizers buried (Figure 1). The vegetative parameters, such as frond length, frond dry weight, frond production and leaf area, were significantly higher in the GCB treatment. The subsoil placement of straight fertilizers broadly speaking performed the worst in...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
