Abstract
Oil pahn biomass has been widely used in most oil pahn plantations in this country. In this study, the Rengam series soil was applied with oil pahn biomass and the oil palm fronds were sampled and its nutrient contents were analysed. The nutrient contents in the soil were also sampled and analysed for each of the following treatments applied; pruned fronds, chipped trunks during replanting, and empty fruit bunches (EFB). The oil pahn EFB, chipped trunks and pruned fronds are the major oil pahn biomass that is easily available in oil palm ecosystem. Depending on the pahn age the nutrient contents in the leaves was analysed for nutrient uptake of pruned fronds (Frond 9), chipped trunks during replanting (Frond 3), and empty fruit bunch (Frond 17). The results showed that oil pahn biomass had contributed a significant amount ofnutrients that can be used by the oil pahn without the need to apply fertilizers for a certain period of time and thus, reducing the inorganic fertilizer costs in the oil pahn plantation. Besides, the benefitS of nutrient cycling of oil pahn biomass are the improvement in soil fertility status • that will lead to better production. Furthermore, the nutrient released from the application of oil pahn biomass in the plantation has proven to be cost effective and cost savings for the oil pahn plantation.
