Bigger Bunches, Greater Harvests




Harvesting 700kg of FFB's from 10 trees every 15 days!

Last week I was in S. Thailand, for site visits to some of the customers of CE7Plus. Once again we saw some amazing results and heard fascinating stories of the effectiveness of CE7Plus on Oil Palm trees.  

Mr Nan has been testing CE7Plus on 10 of his trees for many months now. He is currently harvesting 700kg from just 10 trees every 15 days, that is 1.4 MT per month. His fruit bunches averaging 42kg in weight.  So per tree he is averaging 140kg harvest per month - many times the average harvest in major plantations we have visited in Malaysia and Thailand.

We learnt something else while we were there too. Mr Nan has found that once the FFB starts to grow larger, if he cuts off the water frond beneath it, then the bunch has space to grow larger. From the picture you can see the recently cut frond which has been cut to allow the FFB to grow to its maximum size.  

This is yet more evidence that shows CE7Plus will substantially increase both the number of FFB's and the weight of each bunch.

Double Number of Oil Palm FFB's

CE7 Plus Tests Prove a Doubling of FFB's in just 60 days


Since July 2012 I have now been tracking the effectiveness of the breakthrough plant nutrient called CE7 Plus. When applied to oil palms correctly according to the simple guidelines provided, incredible results are recorded. We have now seen extensive testing and in Malaysia and Thailand, and we are consistently observing a doubling of the number of female flowers and FFB's on tested trees in just 60 days. From tests with a large government linked oil palm plantations in Malaysia, to small holders and private farmers, we are seeing a consistent result.

One example of this can be seen in the statistics recorded below. Earlier this year from January to March, I was personally involved in conducting a test with Mr Ton in Sichon, Southern Thailand. Mr Ton has a smaller plantation with 560 trees. We tested a block of 20 trees which were 4 years old. The simple recording was to count the number of Fresh Fruit Bunches and the number of female flowers on each tree every month. During the test harvesting continued as usual, and ripe FFB's were cut off, so the number of fruits recorded just indicates the fruit remaining on the tree. The plant nutrient CE7 Plus was applied to the trees every 15 days during the trial, and no other treatment was given to the trees.

The data gathered is compiled in the table below. All the trees increased in fruit, included 2 trees which had not previously been bearing fruit. The total overall increase in fruits was from 91 fruits to 220 fruits - an increase of over 140% in just 60 days! This represents substantially more than a doubling of fruits in just 2 months, viz:

Number of FFB's and flowers
Number of days 0 30 60 Increase
Date 15/01/13 14/02/13 16/03/13
Tree 1 9 13 17 88.9%
Tree 2  5 11 13 160.0%
Tree 3 2 7 8 300.0%
Tree 4 3 6 10 233.3%
Tree 5 2 9 8 300.0%

Tree 17 0 6 9  
Tree 18 1 7 9 800.0%

Incredible benefits of using CE7 Plus

Over the last 6 months since my last post on this blog I have been actively tracking the benefits gained from oil palm farmers using CE7 Plus. CE7 Plus is now being used by owners of oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Thailand. Every place where people apply it we are seeing the surprise and delight of farmers and managers alike. CE7 Plus is the perfect nutritional product for oil palms which feeds the tree with all the nutrients it needs to be in optimum health. Whereas benefits of trying a traditional fertilizer product may take years to truly assess, we can see the incredible benefits of using CE7 Plus in just weeks.

The first thing farmers notice is the rapid development in the health of the trees where CE7 Plus is applied. The new spears thrust out of the top of the tree are healthy green, and can even be seen to come out 2 or 4 at a time! This vitality is then quickly visible elsewhere in the tree. Of course, we all know that more spears means more fruit bunches.

Many times palms that have produced only male inflorescence start to produce female flowers within just 15-45 days. The most dramatic illustration of this was at a small plantation I visited in Thailand with just 328 trees. After 5 years only  a handful of these trees had borne fruit. The rest seemed to be barren. After applying CE7 Plus to the trees we saw 250 of the trees became fruitful! Needless to say the owner was delighted. He is now able to harvest his trees every 15 days, and provide for himself a good living. Of the other 80 trees, it appears they are a bad species and will need to be replaced.

Another key benefit from using CE7 Plus regularly is that the size of fresh fruit bunches are seen to increase significantly. A farmer I have spoken with at another plantation in southern Thailand  who has been using CE7 Plus reports seeing FFB's increase to 80kg and more. Personally I have not seen such a big fruit bunch, but we are regularly seeing bunches of 40kg and more.

CE7 Plus is a new technology in oil palm nutrition and the specific guidelines for application must be followed. I will write more about this in a future post.
