Johor’s oil palm grows on two very different soils — coastal peat in the west and south (Pontian, Batu Pahat, Muar) and weathered inland mineral soils (Kulai, Kluang, Segamat). A programme should start from a soil test on your block, not a state-wide rate.
Along the west and southern coast, many palms grow on organic peat: acidic, with a high water table and a tendency towards copper, zinc and boron shortages. Drainage and water-table control are part of the nutrition problem there.
Inland, the soils are older, weathered mineral soils where applied phosphorus is readily tied up and organic matter declines under long monoculture. NEXGROW is a bio-organic fertiliser, processed in line with MS 1517:2012, that adds organic matter and phosphate-solubilising bacteria. It is built to work alongside your existing programme, with the rate set after a soil test.
Timing rounds around the monsoons reduces leaching losses. Exact rates depend on your soil test.
On coastal peat, pH, drainage and micronutrient status are checked before any programme is written.
NEXGROW carries phosphate-solubilising bacteria, which help convert bound soil phosphorus into forms the palm can take up.
Aerobically processed organic matter supports soil structure and nutrient retention under long monoculture.
Ganoderma needs estate-level management — sanitation, replanting practice and monitoring. We do not claim that any of our products control it.
