Not a few people still plant oil palms carelessly and pay less attention to good and correct planting techniques. So that sometimes this is the reason why the oil palm trees that are being planted do not get satisfactory results. Therefore, in the article that I posted in the Steem Anggro community, I will explain how to plant oil palms properly so that oil palm trees that are being cultivated in Aceh and around the world can grow well and fertile and produce satisfactory oil palm fruit according to expectations.

Initial Steps for How to Plant Oil Palms A. Climate Oil palm trees need direct sunlight for 4-6 hours per day.
Good rainfall for the growth of oil palm trees is 1,400 - 4,000 mm per year The ideal environmental temperature in oil palm plantations is 24 - 28 degrees Celsius according to conditions in Aceh with certain conditions.

Planting Media The type of soil suitable for planting oil palm is soil that contains clay, not rocky with a pH of 4-6 like in fertile hills. The soil for planting oil palm must have good aeration and be fertile. Oil palm plantations should have a good system, with a fairly deep air surface, the solum must also be in a fairly dammed state of around 80 cm, because oil palm really needs air. 3. Oil Palm Nursery Oil Palm Seedlings Oil palm sprouts or seedlings are put into polybags measuring 12 x 35 cm or 15 x 23 cm. Previously, the polybags had been filled with sifted topsoil of around 1.5 - 2.0 kg. The oil palm sprouts or seedlings are then planted in polybags that have been filled with soil 2 cm deep.

Check to make sure the soil in the polybag is always moist. Because if the soil is dry, the seedlings will not be able to grow well. Then the polybags are stored on beds with a diameter of 120 cm. After being stored and cared for for approximately 3-4 months, the seedling shoots have grown about 4-5 leaves. Seedlings that have spread 4-5 are ready to be moved.

Then the seedlings from the nursery are transferred to 0.11 mm thick polybags measuring 40 x 50 cm. Polybags are filled with 15 - 30 kg of sifted topsoil. Before the seedlings are transferred, the soil in the polybag is first watered using 0.5 bottle caps of NASA POC or 5 ml per 1 liter of air. Then the polybags are arranged into an equilateral triangle position with a distance between polybags of 90 x 90 cm.

Nursery During the nursery process, carry out plant care in the form of watering, weeding, replanting and fertilizing. Watering is done twice a day every morning and evening. Weeding is done 2 to 3 times a month or adjusted to the condition of the weeds on the seedlings. Replanting is selecting dead seedlings and abnormal growth. Seedling selection is carried out when the seedlings are 4 months and 9 months old. Seedlings that do not grow normally, are infected with disease and have genetic abnormalities or physical defects should be discarded and replaced with new and healthy seedlings.

The method of fertilization at the nursery stage is as follows: Macro Fertilizer: NPK 15-15-6-4: In the 2nd and 3rd weeks as much as 2 grams. In the 4th and 5th weeks as much as 4 grams. In the 6th and 8th weeks as much as 6 grams.

NPK 12-12-17-2: In the 19th and 21st weeks as much as 4 grams. In the 23rd and 25th weeks as much as 6 grams. In the 27th, 29th and 31st weeks as much as 8 grams.

NASA POC: Given in the 1st to 40th week with a dose of 1-2 cc per 1 liter of air per seedling. Sprayed every 1-2 weeks.

Note: the results will be better if SUPERNASA is added 1-3 times during the nursery process when fertilizing the seedlings. Use SUPERNASA dose of 1 bottle as much as 450 doses. The application method is 1 bottle of SUPERNASA diluted with 4 liters of water to make a stock solution.
