Granular Fertilizer: An Effective Solution for Oil Palm, Horticultural, and Food Crop Plantations
What is Granular Fertilizer? Granular fertilizer is a fertilizer in the form of solid granules with a relatively uniform size. This granule form is produced through mechanical or chemical processing, making it easier to apply to agricultural and plantation land. Compared to powdered or liquid fertilizers, granular fertilizers have several advantages, such as longer shelf life, resistance to clumping, and greater efficiency in nutrient absorption by plants. Advantages of Granular NPG Fertilizer 1. Easy Application Granular NPG fertilizer is easy to spread manually or with the help of mechanical equipment, saving time and labor. 2. More Even Nutrient Release With a uniform granule form, fertilizer distribution across the land is more even. This is crucial to ensuring plants receive a balanced nutritional intake. 3. Minimal Nutrient Loss Granular fertilizers are more resistant to evaporation and washout during heavy rain, resulting in higher fertilizer efficiency. 4. Suitable for Various Commodities NPG granular fertilizer is widely used in oil palm plantations, horticulture (chili, tomato, onion), and food crops (rice and corn).
NPG Granular Fertilizer for Oil Palm Oil palm is a major commodity that requires large and continuous amounts of nutrients. NPG palm fertilizer is the right choice because: 1. Nutrients are more stable in the soil even with high rainfall. 2. Application is more efficient in plantation areas with large hectares. 3. Optimal yields, both for vegetative growth and fresh fruit bunch (FFB) productivity.
As a national granular fertilizer producer, Pupuk NPG has supported many oil palm plantations with NPG palm fertilizer products formulated according to the specific needs of the crop. This has resulted in a sustainable increase in oil palm productivity.
NPG Granular Fertilizer for Horticulture and Food Crops In addition to oil palm, NPG fertilizer is also increasingly used in the horticulture and food crop sectors. 1. Horticulture: Crops such as chili peppers, tomatoes, and onions require precise fertilization for maximum yields. Granulated NPG fertilizer provides macro and micronutrients with a more controlled release. 2. Food Crops: Rice and corn require fertilizers that can maintain nutrient availability throughout the growing season. NPG fertilizer is a solution for cost efficiency while increasing crop yields.
Granulated NPG Fertilizer and the National Food Security Program The Indonesian government is currently promoting a national food security program to ensure the availability of strategic food commodities such as rice, corn, soybeans, and various horticultural commodities. Within this program, balanced fertilization and efficient fertilizer use are crucial factors in increasing land productivity. Granulated fertilizer plays a significant role in supporting this program because it: 1. Ensures more even nutrient distribution. 2. Reduces fertilizer loss due to evaporation or rainwater washout. 3. Increases crop yields in a more sustainable manner.
