We have upgraded MPOB F1 and MPOB F1 Xtra K compound fertilizers by using Bayovar Rock Phosphate fertilizer as the phosphate source.
What is Bayovar Rock Phosphate? You can read more about this high reactive rock phosphate fertilizer by clicking the links below:

3) Bayovar Rock Phosphate Specification
An independent research trial over a 5-year period has shown that using high reactive rock phosphate fertilizer such as Bayovar Rock Phosphate can improve oil palm yield by up to 11% when compared with using medium reactive rock phosphate.
Another research paper has also compared the effectiveness of high reactive rock phosphate fertilizer against low reactive rock phosphate fertilizer applied in young oil palms. You can follow this link to download the paper found in Google Scholar.
Large plantation companies such as Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd, Boustead Plantations, Genting Plantations, IOI Plantations, KULIM Plantations, TSH Plantations, TDM Plantations, Felda and many others are already applying Bayovar Rock Phosphate fertilizer in their oil palm plantations.
Our compound fertilisers are the only ones in Asia that have Bayovar Rock Phosphate as the phosphate source. Besides this, there is also water-soluble phosphate in MPOB F1 that provides immediate P nutrient to the palms to enhance the uptake of N and K nutrients as well.
By using both Bayovar Rock Phosphate and water soluble phosphate into our MPOB F1 compound fertilizer, we want to help our customers boost their crop production, high bunch weight and achieve higher oil palm yield consistently.
