“CPI PLUS” Palm Oil Fertilizer
A fertilizer containing 9 essential nutrients
“CPI PLUS” Palm Oil Fertilizer…Empowering Every Seed with Research Tailored to Palm Oil Trees’ Needs
Since palm oil trees produce a higher amount of oil (lipid) compared to other plants, they require more energy to create fat than they do for sugar and protein. Therefore, palm oil trees need a substantial amount of fertilizer, as the nutrients in the soil alone are insufficient for high yields.
CPI PLUS is meticulously researched to meet the genuine needs of palm oil trees, based on the principle of mass conservation and referencing the nutrient concentration analysis from the International Potash Institute (IPI).
Over a ten-year period, testing on 20,000 rai of palm oil plantations owned by Chumphon Palm Oil Industry Public Company Limited (CPI) demonstrated that the use of CPI PLUS Fertilizer, in combination with leaf pile creation, significantly increased the yield of fresh fruit bunches to 6.5 tons per rai per year.
“CPI PLUS” is valuable because it contains 9 essential nutrients:
- N (Nitrogen): Promotes green foliage and stimulates growth.
- P (Phosphorus): Supports root and stem development and accelerates flowering.
- K (Potassium): Aids in growth and plays a role in the opening and closing mechanisms of stomata.
- Ca (Calcium): Works with boron to strengthen cells and aid in pollination.
- Mg (Magnesium): An essential component of chlorophyll, aiding in starch, protein, and fat synthesis.
- S (Sulfur): Helps in chlorophyll, amino acid, and protein formation.
- B (Boron): Assists in fruit setting and size enlargement.
- Cu (Copper): Promotes chlorophyll production and activates disease-preventing enzymes.
- Zn (Zinc): Aids in carbohydrate and protein synthesis and the formation of auxin hormones that control palm growth.
How much fertilizer should be applied?
Formula 23-6-15+TE for Young Palms
(Growth-Boosting Formula)
2MgO + 0.32B + 0.11Cu + 0.23Zn
The 23-6-15+TE formula for young palms emphasizes stem growth, with a high nitrogen content that is crucial for developing water and nutrient transport systems, particularly important for monocotyledonous plants during their juvenile phase. Given the small size of young palms, excessive fertilizer application can be harmful, causing leaf burn, stunted growth, and potentially killing the palm oil trees. Therefore, it is recommended to divide the application into three times per year.
