Abstract

Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is a commercially significant plantation crop, primarily due to its production of crude palm oil (CPO), which finds applications in the food, cosmetics, and biofuel sectors. The fertility of the land is closely linked to the soil's chemical characteristics, including pH, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), organic carbon content, and cation exchange capacity (CEC). This study employed a field survey methodology, utilizing purposive sampling for data collection. Findings indicate that the soil in oil palm plantations exhibits an acidic pH range of 4.87 to 5.22 and a low organic carbon content between 0.90% and 1.05%, factors that may influence nutrient availability. While nitrogen levels (1.03% to 1.07%) and phosphorus concentrations (41.22 to 42.33 ppm) are relatively high, potassium levels (0.54 to 0.63 meq/100g) are low, potentially hindering plant growth. The cation exchange capacity, measured at 15.66 to 16.87 meq/100g, is categorized as moderate, suggesting that while the soil can retain nutrients adequately, enhancements in potassium availability are necessary.
