The Expert’s Blueprint for High-Yield Oil Palm: Heavy Bunches & No Yield Gaps
Parich Fertilizer is the specialized nutrient solution for oil palm that guarantees continuous yields and high oil content using American “No Filler” technology.
Transform your plantation into a sustainable income generator. Parich Fertilizer eliminates the common problem of “Yield Gaps” (seasonal shortages) by providing a concentrated, long-lasting nutrient supply.
Oil palms are hungry feeders. Standard fertilizers fade too fast, causing yield gaps. Parich delivers consistent nutrition, keeping your palms productive all year round.
| Stage | Formula | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Planting – 1 Year | Start of Planting: Use Parich Pagro (Organic) at the bottom of the hole to make the soil loose and retain water. After Planting: Apply Parich Ton-Mai Formula 20–3–3 or 27–12–6 | Parich Pagro: 1 kg / tree Parich Ton-Mai: 300–500 g / tree applied every 3 months |
| 1 – 3 Years | Apply Parich Ton-Mai Formula 27–12–6 Alternate with Formula 15–15–15 | 500–700 g / tree applied every 3 months |
| 3 – 4 Years | Apply Parich Ton-Mai Formula 13–6–27 or 13–5–33 | 1–2 kg / tree applied every 3 months |
| 4 Years & Up | Apply Parich Ton-Mai Formula 13–6–27 or 13–5–33 | 2–3 kg / tree applied every 3 months |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How is Parich Ton-Mai Formula 13-5-33+1MgO+0.3B different from Formula 14-7-35?
- It contains Magnesium (Mg), a secondary nutrient that aids efficient photosynthesis.
- It contains Boron (B), a micronutrient essential for pollen development and root absorption—both of which are highly required by oil palms.
- The Nitro and Power coating enhances nutrient efficiency, stimulates biological processes, promotes growth, and increases tolerance to stress (e.g., drought). It is a complete solution in one formula.
Q: If the palm has a "Yield Gap" (No bunches/Aborted inflorescence), which formula should be used, and what nutrients need to be added?
- You should use a fertilizer formula high in K (e.g., 13-5-35+1MgO+0.3B coated with Nitro and Power).
- Add Boron (B), which is critical for flower and fruit development.
- Magnesium (Mg) deficiency can also cause the palm to be unhealthy.
Q: What causes Frond Fracture (bending/breaking of leaves)? Is it a nutrient surplus or deficiency?
- Rhinoceros Beetle: They attack the fronds, biting the tip, middle, or base. Damage at the middle or base causes the frond to snap.
- Water Stress: Especially if there is a water shortage for more than 3 months, symptoms will show clearly.
- Ganoderma Disease: Caused by fungi attacking the palm trunk, causing lower fronds to fracture and hang down, while new shoots fail to unfurl. This persists year-round.
Q: How should I fertilize different soil types for continuous yield?
- Sandy Soil: Apply fertilizer more frequently in smaller amounts to reduce leaching.
- Clay Soil: Can apply larger amounts per application.
- Acidic/Peat Soil: Should apply Lime (e.g., Dolomite) to adjust pH and use fertilizers high in Mg and K.
- Key Principle: Regardless of soil type, Magnesium and Boron must be applied regularly.
