Manuring and Fertilizer Requirements - SS1 Agriculture Lesson Note

Oil Palm: Oil palms benefit from regular applications of organic matter and essential nutrients. Commonly used fertilizers include NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium) compounds, along with micronutrients like magnesium and boron.

 

Melon: Melon plants typically require nitrogen-rich fertilizers early in their growth stages. Balanced NPK fertilizers are often used, and fertilizer application should be adjusted based on soil nutrient levels and crop development.

 

Groundnut: Groundnuts have high nitrogen requirements and benefit from well-rotted compost or organic matter. Nitrogen-based fertilizers may also be applied as needed.
