The palm thrives in soils that are rich in organic matter and nutrients. Therefore, fertilization ensures optimal plant health and productivity. Research suggests approximately 100-150 kg of nitrogen per hectare annually. Fertilizer applications should be split throughout the growing season to match the plant’s needs and prevent nutrient loss.
