Much of Sarawak’s oil palm around Miri, Sibu, Bintulu, Mukah and Betong is planted on deep peat — a soil that behaves nothing like mineral ground and needs water-table control as part of the nutrition plan.
Tropical peat is partially decomposed organic material with low bulk density, high acidity and very little mineral reserve. Palms on peat commonly show copper, zinc and boron shortages, and lean as the peat subsides.
Applied fertiliser can be lost to drainage water, so timing and water-table control matter. NEXGROW is a bio-organic fertiliser, processed in line with MS 1517:2012, that adds organic matter and phosphate-solubilising bacteria. Your agronomist decides whether and at what rate it fits your peat programme after testing.
Timing rounds around water-table levels and rainfall limits losses to drainage.
Copper, zinc and boron status is checked by leaf and soil analysis before a programme is written.
Water-table control limits peat oxidation, subsidence and nutrient loss.
NEXGROW adds aerobically processed organic matter and phosphate-solubilising bacteria.
Ganoderma needs estate-level management — sanitation, replanting practice and monitoring. We do not claim that any of our products control it.
