Response of Nutrient Levels of Oil Palm Leaves (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) to Polyhalite and KCl Fertilizers Application in Dystrudepts Soil
Abstract
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a significant plantation crop extensively cultivated in Indonesia, particularly in the Riau region, where it is often grown on marginal lands, such as typical dystrudepts. Low soil pH and limited water-holding capacity necessitating effective fertilization management strategies characterize typic Dystrudepts. One approach to address these challenges is the application of slow-release fertilizers. Polyhalite, a mineral fertilizer, contains slow-release nutrients including potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and sulfur (S). Given that oil palm plants have a high demand for potassium to support their growth and productivity, providing substantial quantities of readily available potassium fertilizers, such as potassium chloride (KCl) is essential. The synergistic application of polyhalite and KCl is anticipated to enhance plant nutrient absorption, thereby improving leaf nutrient levels. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Polyhalite fertilizer, both alone and in combination with KCl fertilizer, on the leaf nutrient levels of oil palm plants. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, consisting of five treatment factors: Control (NPK), Polyhalite at 25% combined with KCl at 75%, Polyhalite at 50% combined with KCl at 50%, Polyhalite at 75% combined with KCl at 25%, and Polyhalite at 100%. Each treatment was replicated three times, resulting in 60 plants across four plants per treatment. The data collected from the research will be analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by the 5% Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT). The findings indicate that the application of Polyhalite at 75% in combination with KCl at 25% significantly increased the levels of potassium, calcium, and magnesium in the leaves of the oil palm plants
