Benefits of Vermi

effect of using Conventional Fertilizer is that soil will turn acidic. It is useless to apply Conventional Fertilizer when the soil pH is lower than 4.0 due to fixation of nutrients.

(a)(i)

Graph showing the relationship between Acidic Soil and the Nutrients Absorption Ability of palm roots.

Application of Conventional Fertilizer reduce soil pH to lower than 3.0 .

(a)(ii)

Soil pH is 5.0 in the interrows because Conventional Fertilizer is seldom applied here.

(Moist Soil Surface)

Palm Base were applied with high amounts of Conventional Fertilizer. Soil pH was reduced to 3.1 after applying Conventional Fertilizer. (Moist Soil Surface)

U-Chong Oil Palm Fertilizer is applied on axil. It helps to raise the soil pH.

For Sustainable and Long Term Soil Improvement purposes, U-Chong has produced an Excellent Soil Conditioner named Humik Soil™.

(b)

• It helps to improve Soil pH, enhances the nutrients absorption ability of palm roots.

• It induces growth of micro-organism and earthworms which, in turn, loosen the soil, and improves its aeration and water retaining capacity.

(c)

At the same time, it induces growth of micro-organism and improves soil fertility.

Soil pH will be improved after switching from Conventional Fertilizer to U-Chong Oil Palm Fertilizer.

It is more cost effective to apply lesser amount of appropriate* Conventional Fertilizer when soil pH has improved to 5.5 – 6.5. All nutrients will be completely absorbed where U-Chong Oil Palm Fertilizer as a main nutrient supply and conventional fertilizer as a supplementary nutrient supply in order to maximize the production.

Combination of U-Chong Oil Palm Fertilizer and Conventional Fertilizer, palm trees enable to absorb nutrients from axil and root system, and therefore will increase the yield.

(According to our data and experience!)

* Apply the correct type and correct amount of Conventional Fertilizer according to leaf symptoms.

Earthworm casting found visibly on soil that contains organic matter after 3 weeks application of Humik Soil solution of 5:1000

Earthworm casting found visibly on soil that contains organic matter after 3 weeks application of Humik Soil solution of 5:1000

Soil pH raised to 6.2
(Soil pH was 4.0~4.5 before application)

Earthworm casting

U-Chong Humik Soil can be applied together during circle spraying. It increases the earthworm population and soil microbes. It attracts wild boar to search for earthworm at palm base.
