hello dear friend today I will tell you about fertilization for oil palm trees, before fertilization for oil palm trees of course there are other stages that we have to do..
this is our job before we do fertilizing,, the first stage we shunt fertilizer from the warehouse where we buy fertilizer, and we take it to the oil palm plantation where we want to fertilize,
To move the fertilizer we use a tricycle, why do we use a pedicab, because the fertilizer is not too much, there are 16 sacks of fertilizer, only two times the fertilizer is ready for us to pass.
On one trip we slashed 8 sacks, because it did not fit 16 sacks into a becak at once, in one sack the fertilizer weighs 50 kg, if we load 16 sacks into a becak the total weight is 800 kg, the becak will definitely not want to go, that's why we pass the fertilizer two times or two trips.
the first way we slashed the poska fertilizer, the second the fertilizer we brought was urea fertilizer, only two types of fertilizers at this stage are given for fertilizing oil palm,
it is our tool to carry fertilizer to all corners of the garden, so that it is easier for us to work and can push it everywhere, to the corners of the garden.
now entering the stage of mixing the two types of fertilizers, namely Phoska fertilizer and urea fertilizer, before mixing occurs I first use a tent on the ground so that the mixing is easier and more comfortable.
On top of the tent I spilled the fertilizer one by one in turn, one sack I spilled Phoska fertilizer after that I spilled another sack of urea fertilizer, I kept doing this alternately continuously, until I ran out of 16 sacks I spilled into the tent which I have prepared beforehand..
.
After all the fertilizer I spill into the tent, then I mix it with my own feet, why do I mix it with my feet.....?
and why not use your hands...???
I answered immediately, because the skin on our feet is thicker than the skin on our palms, if my answer is wrong, friends, you can try it if you want to fertilize a plant with the same amount as I gave fertilizer this time...
Why do oil palm trees have to be fertilized, so that our crops are abundant..
After I finished the mixing, the two types of Phoska fertilizer and urea were mixed well, then we started to sow them at the base of the oil palm tree,
the distance from the base of the oil palm, the fertilizer that we sprinkle is one meter and a half from the base, it should not be too far from the base and not too close, if it is too far away we sow the fertilizer with the base of the oil palm, the absorption is a little slow, if it is too close we sow the fertilizer with the base of the oil palm, it will be dangerous for the oil palm tree because it is too close..
so I sprinkled the fertilizer at a distance of 1 meter and a half from the base of the oil palm tree, it was a recommendation or knowledge from the doctor of agriculture...
Why do oil palm trees need fertilizer? maybe you already know the answer..
even though friends already know the answer I also want to answer it too...
I repeat once again, why are oil palm trees fertilized... so that the fruit is big....
so that the fruit is heavy....
and lastly so that the oil palm fruit is shiny, therefore we have to give fertilizer to oil palm trees....
that's the story of my activity today, giving fertilizer to oil palm trees....
I'm sorry if my writing is not quite right, please understand, because I'm writing still using Google translate.... please understand.....
