Effect of Potassium Sprays On The Physical Characteristics of The Oil Palm Fruit, Yield and Quality of CPO

Effect of Potassium Sprays On The Physical Characteristics of The Oil Palm Fruit, Yield and Quality of CPO

Oil palm is the source of the raw material of vegetable oil. Efforts to improve oil palm productivity by expanding the area of plantation has negative impact on environmental sustainability. Alternatively, increasing productivity could also be achieved by potassium treatment using bunch spraying met...

Efforts to improve oil palm productivity by expanding the area of plantation has negative impact on environmental sustainability. Alternatively, increasing productivity could also be achieved by potassium treatment using bunch spraying method. Research was done to investigate the influence of potassium on the physical characteristics of the oil palm fruit, yield and quality of CPO. Fruit bunches of oil palm were sprayed with different concentration of K2SO4 (1 % and 2%) and compared with control. The results showed that this treatment has no effect on all the tested parameters. Therefore, it can be concluded that potassium treatment through the spraying of oil palm fruit bunches is not recommended to improve the quality of fruits and their respective CPO content. text
