Good Agricultural Practices of Oil Palm Agr182

1) The document discusses good agricultural practices in oil palm, including weeding, fertilization/manuring, and harvesting. Weeding is important to reduce competition for resources and facilitate maintenance. Fertilization provides necessary nutrients and improves growth and productivity. Harvesting begins when fruits turn red at around 26-36 months, using equipment like chisels, sickles, and spikes. 2) Fertilization/manuring practices are discussed, including types of fertilizers and their application. Macronutrients important for oil palm include nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. 3) The harvesting process involves grading bunches into categories like ripe, underripe, and empty before collection using various

Malaysia and Indonesia. Palm oil, obtained from
the fruits, is used in making soaps, cosmetics,
candles and many more.

WEEDING
WHAT IS WEED?

 Not intentionally planted


 Unwanted plant
 Interfere with human activities

AGR 182 5
THE IMPORTANCE OF WEEDING

 Reduce competition to the oil palm trees to earn water, fertilizer, light
and spaces.
 Facilitate maintenance work
 Maximize results
 Ensure the farm are always safe to work

FERTILIZATION
MANURING
THE IMPORTANCE OF FERTILIZER

 Improve growth and productiveness of plants


 Enhance the natural fertility of the soil
 Provide nutrients that not available in the soil
 Balance nutrients for better produce quality and higher yield
 Proper fertilizer management is vital to attain efficient uptake, high yield,
& maximizing profitability

AGR 182 9
MANURING: TYPE OF FERTILIZERS

Straight Fertilizer
Mixture Fertilizer
Compound Fertilizer
Controlled Release Fertilizer
Organic Fertilizer

PALM NUTRITION : MACRONUTRIENTS
Nitrogen (N)
 Requires in large amount for plant growth
 Plant’s vitamins & energy
Phosphorus (P)
 For root development during establishment and early stage
Potassium (K)
 For proper stomata function (photosynthesis and transpiration)
Magnesium (Mg)
 Constituent of chlorophyll and number of plant enzyme system
