Fertilizers are mostly physiological acid fertilizers, such as: ammonium sulphate, ammonium chloride and potassium chloride. When nitrogen and potassium are absorbed, acid / acid ions (CI-, SO₄-) will remain in the soil and cause acidification of the soil.
According to the latest statistics, the rate of fertilizer efficiency in oil palm plantations is as follows:

- The harder the soil, the higher the rate of nitrogen loss and evaporate.
- The higher the acidity of the soil, the higher the rate of deadlock between phosphate and potassium.
Ken Microbes has formulated a product called PALM CARE to help solve the problem.
Palm Care is a new technology formulated to solve nutrient deficiency problems, soil hardness problems, soil acidity problems and root disease problems.
- Palm care contains micro-element chelated EDTA fertilizer; stable quality, high absorption and efficiency of use far beyond ordinary fertilizer. Very suitable for degraded soils and lack of micro element elements.
- Phosphorus bacteria can dissolve inactive phosphorus (bounded), turn into phosphorus that can be absorbed directly, secretion of polysaccharides, can make the soil aggregate better soil’s structure and improve the physical properties of the soil.
- Palm Care improves and increases soil ventilation rate by improving soil aggregate structural systems, loosening soil density and improving the respiratory function of plant roots. Continued use of Palm Care can reduce nematode attack.
- Suitable for acidic soils. It can effectively neutralize soil acidity, increase the ‘surfactant’ effect, increase water retention and reduce the occurrence of root diseases such as Ganoderma.
Attached herewith are few photos and experiments that have been conducted for reference.
Palm Care is suitable for all types of crops, especially acidic, hard, and low quality soils.
