Hard Soil Under Oil Palm, Why Palms Stay Hungry After Fertiliser

In this episode, we discuss a common field problem in oil palm blocks, hard topsoil, fast runoff after rain, fewer earthworms, and palms that look uneven even after fertiliser. The story links this to weak feeder roots and low organic matter in the soil. We also cover field lessons from North Sumatra, Indonesia, and why the same patterns fit many Malaysian farms with warm, wet weather and often acidic soils. We explain what changes in the soil when compost from empty fruit bunches and other well rotted organic materials get returned to the palm block. We focus on simple, practical actions, frond stacking, where feeder roots grow, how to keep organic matter moist and shaded, and how to place and split fertiliser so nutrients reach the root zone with less loss. #oilpalm #kelapasawit #malaysia #fertilizer #soil #soilhealth #regenerativeagriculture
