Résumé : Trial GH ES 01, which is testing three types of fertilizers on old palms at Kwae, was launched in March 2003. Yield recording will begin in January 2004. Trial GH ES 02, which is testing four types of fertilizers on young palms planted at Okumaning in June 2002 is showing Flanamat to be effective for the time being, compared to compound fertilizer. For the Kwae Nucleus, we propose better EFB distribution: sacrificing ageing plots due to be felled within 5 years, to the benefit of young and mature plots. In the absence of fertilization, leaf contents are still acceptable in Smallholder plots, but K contents are failing in Outgrower plots. At Okumaning, we propose a programme to eradicate Panicum for palms planted in 2003, and structuring into LA units for palms planted in 2002. A new land preparation trial is proposed (subsoiling and gypsum application).
