Abstract

Weeds in oil palm plantations negatively affect the quantity and quality of fresh fruit bunches, inhibit plant growth, increase susceptibility to pests and diseases, interfere with water use, and raise production costs. This study aimed to identify dominant broadleaf weed species, evaluate herbicide resistance, determine weed regrowth time, and develop effective control strategies. A factorial randomized block design with 6 treatments and 2 controls was applied, with observations conducted every 7 days for 6 weeks. Results showed that the most dominant broadleaf weed was Synedrella nodiflora with a dominance level of 27.64%, while the lowest population was Asystasia intrusa at 12.36%. Herbicide application significantly increased weed mortality compared to the control, with paraquat treatment (P3) producing the fastest response, reaching early visible damage within hours and higher mortality rates (>50% by day 5). Resistance analysis indicated that weeds were still susceptible, with Resistance Index (RI) values of 1.53 (glyphosate) and 0.80 (paraquat). Weed regrowth began at 16 days after application (H+16), dominated by Ageratum conyzoides, Physalis minima, and Synedrella nodiflora. An effective weed control strategy involves maintaining proper application intervals and using low herbicide doses to delay resistance development.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of soil fertility in supporting oil palm productivity through the availability of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and C-organic nutrients. The results showed that the total N content on sloping and flat land had an average of 0.13% and 0.12%, respectively, with a low category. The available P content had an average of 27.40 ppm on sloping land and 26.61 ppm on flat land with a high category. In general, the K content was classified as moderate and C-organic was classified as low in both land conditions. The t-test results showed no significant difference between flat and sloping land regarding the analyze dnutrient content. Soil functions as a medium for providing nutrients, but intensive management and continuous use of chemical fertilizers can reduce soil quality, especially organic matter. Therefore, analysis of N, P, K and C-organic is necessary to evaluate soil fertility and determine the appropriate fertilization strategy. The elements N, P, and K are essential macronutrients for plant growth, while organic C plays a role in improving the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. The research was conducted at the Silau Dunia Plantation, Afdeling III, PT. Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional I from February 2026 to May 2026, using a comparative quantitative method with laboratory analysis. Soil samples were taken purposively on flat and sloping land using the composite method (three replications). The parameters analyzed included total N, available P, K, and organic C, then tested using a t-test. The results showed that total N was low, available P was high, K was moderate, and organic C was low in both land conditions. There was no significant difference between flat and sloping land. Nutrient variations are thought to be more influenced by land management, fertilization, and environmental conditions.
