Remarks:
- Under irrigated conditions, apply fertilizers in two split doses, the first during September-October and the second during February.
- Under rainfed conditions, apply the second dose during March-April after the receipt of summer rains.
- Apply green leaf and compost, each @12 kg per palm per year from first year of planting onwards, during September-October.
- In acidic soils, broadcast lime @ 0.5 kg per palm once in two or three years and incorporate into soil by forking during March-April.
- As zinc deficiency is commonly noticed especially in young rubber, zinc sulphate application @ 25 kg/ha or 50g/plant mixed with equal quantity of farm yard manure or top soil (for uniform distribution) two weeks after the post monsoon fertilizer application during the year of planting is advocated as an ad hoc recommendation.
