This formulation is high in potassium, which aligns with oil palm needs since potassium is crucial for high-yield fruit bunch production and oil quality. Such a fertilizer is typically applied during the fruiting stage or as a maintenance dose for mature palm trees.

• Phosphorus (P) sources taken from MAP.

Application Recommendations:

1. Application Rate:

   • Immature Palms: 1.5–3 kg per tree per year, divided into 2–4 applications.
   • Mature Palms: 3–6 kg per tree per year, depending on soil fertility and yield goals.

2. Timing:

   • Apply during the rainy season or when soil moisture levels are adequate for nutrient absorption.
   • Split applications into 2–4 doses throughout the year for consistent nutrient supply.

3. Method of Application:

   • Spread the fertilizer evenly around the root zone in a circular band, 50–150 cm away from the trunk, depending on the palm’s age.
   • Avoid direct application at the base to prevent root burn.
