Oil Palm Nutrient Advisor

Oil palm is a heavy feeder of nutrients. It responds very well to resource management especially water and nutrients. For achieving site yield potential in oil palm, site specific soil and leaf analysis based nutrient management is the right approach. Even if nutrient analysis results are available for soil and leaf samples, generating nutrient management advisories needs a special skill considering optimal nutrient ranges of leaf and soil nutrient contents of that particular location. ICAR-IIOPR has generated a quite lot of information on these optimal ranges of leaf nutrients in different states along with sufficiency ranges of soil nutrients. Utilizing this information, generation of nutrient advisories for both soil application and fertigation technique have been made simple just by entering the soil and leaf analysis results of your site after selecting the location with this mobile based android application
