Q & A

What was the condition of the farm before the speaker arrived?

Before the speaker arrived, the farm was already cleaned up, and there had been some spraying done before Ramadan. However, the stacking area still needed attention, and some trees were yet to be cut.

Why are there concerns about the stacking area on the farm?

The stacking area is a concern because the piles of wood there have become very tall, and the speaker plans to clear it in 2 or 3 weeks. The piles could be obstructive and cause difficulties for the farm's operations.

What is the issue with the unpruned palm oil plants?

The unpruned palm oil plants are showing small fruit clusters (bonggol), which indicates poor growth. This is because the nutrients meant for the plant's growth are being consumed by the fruit, limiting the size of the cluster.

How old are the palm oil plants that have small fruit clusters?

The palm oil plants with small fruit clusters are 26 months old.

What is the significance of pruning palm oil plants in this context?

Pruning is important because it helps the palm oil plants focus their nutrients on the growth of the plant rather than the fruit. Without pruning, the plants may have smaller fruit clusters, as seen in the unpruned plants.

What is the next step for the palm oil plants with small fruit clusters?

The next step is to remove the fruit from the unpruned plants. Afterward, the plants will be fertilized again, and the plants are expected to be ready for fruit harvesting when they reach around 30 months of age.

How does the condition of the soil affect the farm operations?

The soil in the area is boggy and prone to flooding, making the paths difficult to navigate, especially during the rainy season. This creates challenges for transportation and harvesting, as the farm's roads become impassable at times.

What are some of the challenges the speaker faces while navigating the farm?

The speaker mentions difficulty in navigating the farm due to flooding. The roads are muddy, and parts of the farm are submerged in water, making it hard for vehicles like cars to move through. However, the speaker is able to navigate with a motorbike.

How is the palm oil plant development on the pruned areas different from the unpruned ones?

The pruned palm oil plants have much larger fruit clusters (bonggol) compared to the unpruned ones. This indicates that pruning has helped the plants focus on their growth, resulting in better fruit production.

What is the plan for the palm oil plant with the decaying tip?

The palm oil plant with a decaying tip will be replaced. The plant's top has been rotting for three months, showing no improvement, so the speaker plans to replace it to ensure better growth.
