However, the actual yield was only around 9.9 ton FFB/ ha/ year. Based on the observation, the trend of one year production was tent to distribute nearly in normal distribution.The yield potential is 21.8 ton FFB /ha/year.

Average bunch weight during observation is average on 13 kg. The stand trees in the area is 140 palms/ha. The number of palms sampled is 238 palms or more or less one hectare. The observation was done during January to December 2013. Weeding in palm circle and inter row is not totally cleaned. In general, like any other small holder palms, the farm was not well managed such as manuring was only applied ones per year with dosage 0.5 kg Urea. The seedlings were assuming coming from illegitimate seeds.

The observation was held in one of small holder plantation located in Desa Sonomartani, Kecamatan Sukarame, Kabupaten Labuhan Batu Utara (north Sumatra).

The best treatment found in P3 can increase plant height 59.29 cm (18%), stem circumference 15.88 cm (9%), leaf number 12.83 strands (7%), wet weight 188.56 gr (2%) and dry weight 52.45 gr (8%) were compared to the growth of IOPRI/PPKS Medan standard seedlings.ДЄuthors who publish with this journal agree to the following terms: Parameter testing is compiled on the variance list with a level of 5% and 1% for the whole treatment. The study used Non Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 3 treatments and six replications, P1: Standard Fertilizer / Recommended PPKS, P2: Fertilizer Control Release Fertilizer (CRF) 1x application dose of 50 g / seed, P3: Fertilizer Control Release Fertilizer (CRF) 2x application, dose / application 50 g / seed. The study period was 4 months, from April to August 2018. The study was conducted at the STIPAP Medan. To get a really good, healthy, and uniform seed, strict sorting must be done. Oil palm nursery is a starting point in greatly determines for the success of planting in the field, while superior seeds are a large capital of the company to achieve high productivity and quality of palm oil.
