Why Do Oil Palm Fruitlets Drop?

Fruit shedding in oil palm is normal only up to a point. The warning sign is when too many young fruitlets dry, fail to fill, or fall from the bunch before proper development. This episode explains how heat stress, dry soil, uneven water, nutrient imbalance, pest damage, and poor pruning affect fruit retention. You will hear practical field steps for irrigation, nitrogen, zinc, boron, pest monitoring, pruning timing, and long-term palm health to improve yield per hectare. #ags #podcast #oilpalm #oilpalmfarming #palmnutrition #oilpalmpodcast #smallholderfarmers #oilpalmplantation #oilpalmagronomy
