Ideal altitude between 1-500 m above sea level. Wind speed of 5-6 km / h to help the process of pollination.

Good soil contains a lot of clay, beraerasi good and fertile. Well drained, the water table deep enough, enough solum in (80 cm), soil pH 4-6, and the soil is not rocky.

• Dig a planting hole size of 40 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm. Soil top soil (humus) plain black on the right place the sub soil while the soil is red or white usual place on the left.
• Give fertilizer RP (rock posphat) at a dose of 75 g of spread at the base of the hole and the hole in the wall.
• Planting oil palm seedlings by first opening a polybag, polybags participate embedded because if it would dwarf palm plant.
• Piled with ground start by entering the soil top soil (humus) is hereinafter soil sub soil, the goal is to land more fertile near the roots so the plants will grow faster.
