fertiliser MANAGEMENT FOR new-made 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 serial publication ISSN 1511-7871 JUNE 2006 ith the current labour shortage, to hold the rounds of fertiliser application, unders anele placement ( burying) has attracted much touch, especially in remote areas and on undulating terrain. This is mainly due to the belief that burying the fertiliser is as in effect(p) as broadcasting it with reduce run-off losses. Foster and Goh (1975) recommended that fertilizers be broadcasted to maximize their contact with the feeding roots. In Sabah, Soon and Hoong (2002) found that burying fertilizer offered no advantage over broadcasting even for immature to young 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 subsoil placement of fertilizers, a study was conducted by MPOB to compare various compound and at once fertilizers in 2 methods of applications on immature oil wield on an inland soil.

METHODS OF fertilizer PLACEMENT With the exception of the control plots, all the fertilizers were buried, in trio pockets (10-15 cm deep) about 1.5 m from the palm. In the control plots, the fertilizers were broadcast at heart the weeded tidy sum (GCB). The palm performance was evaluated by their vegetal addition, FFB yield, and cockle solid fodder content. OIL PALM execution of instrument AS AFFECTED BY FERTILIZER PLACEMENT The palms at 60 months later on planting (MAP) showed better development 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 slackly performed the worst in...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Orderessay
