Abstract

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of Indonesia's leading plantation commodities and plays a strategic role in the national economy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of EFB compost as an alternative source of potassium, analyze its effect on potassium nutrient uptake, and assess its impact on oil palm yields at PT Evans Group. This research method used a field experiment approach by comparing two treatments: a control treatment without EFB compost and a treatment with EFB compost at a dose of 50 kg per plant. The results showed that compost application had a positive effect on plants, as indicated by increased leaf potassium content in the compost treatment compared to the treatment without compost. Although the difference was not significant, these results indicate that compost plays a role in increasing potassium availability and uptake by plants, thus supporting better plant growth.

Abstract

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a tropical plantation crop with high economic value and is one of Indonesia's mainstay commodities. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of basal stem rot (Ganoderma boninense) infestation in oil palm plants at the Pangkatan Plantation of PT. Evans Group, the magnitude of the resulting fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield losses, and the relationship between disease severity and the decrease in FFB yield. The research method used was a survey method with a quantitative descriptive approach. The results showed that the level of ganoderma infestation in Block A1 was relatively low at 8.7%, but had a significant impact on oil palm productivity. Trees attacked by ganoderma produced lower fresh fruit bunch (FFB) weights than healthy trees, thus indicating that plant health significantly affects production results.
