InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – Choosing the right time to plant palm oil (seeds) would be the key to succeed the cultivation. The latest information suggested that planting palm oil (seeds) in dry season would not be a must. The agriculture experts emphasized it would be significant to choose the right time to get the growth maximally.

Some recommended that the ideal time to plant palm oil should be by the late of dry season or better to plant it in rainy season. This is because palm oil plants would need enough time to develop the roots strongly before the dry season comes again. The strong roots would help the plants to be better in dry or hot situation which mostly happens in the drought.

“Choosing the right time would be very crucial for palm oil to get growth. When planting it in bad/wrong time, there would be big challenges when it grows,” the notes said," as InfoSAWIT quoted from the official facebook of Pusat Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (PPKS), Monday (19/8/2024).

The smallholders and planters should carefully notice the right climate and time to plant palm oil to maximize the plantation productivity. The right decision would potentially escalate the harvest, but minimize the risks that would have something to do with the growth negatively. (T2)
