Industrial & Bio-energy Crops Fertilizer Solutions
Tailored nutrient programs to boost productivity, quality, and sustainability of industrial and bio-energy crops.
Introduction to Industrial & Bio-energy Crops
Industrial and bio-energy crops, such as rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis), cassava (Manihot esculenta), and energy grasses (Miscanthus, Napier grass), provide raw materials for industries and renewable energy. Proper nutrient management ensures high biomass yield, wood/latex quality, and long-term soil health.
Nutrient Requirements
Essential nutrients for industrial and bio-energy crops to support biomass, growth, and product quality.
| Nutrient | Function | Deficiency Symptoms | Recommended Fertilizer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | Promotes vegetative growth and leaf expansion | Slow growth, pale leaves, reduced biomass | Urea, NPK 20-10-10 |
| Phosphorus (P) | Supports root development and energy transfer | Weak root system, delayed establishment | DAP, high-P blends |
| Potassium (K) | Improves stress resistance, latex production, and sugar accumulation | Leaf margin burn, lower yield | MOP, K-rich NPK |
| Calcium (Ca) & Magnesium (Mg) | Strengthens cell walls, promotes latex/biomass quality | Weak stems, poor leaf expansion | Dolomite, MgSO₄ |
| Boron (B) & Zinc (Zn) | Supports flowering, root growth, and tissue quality | Flower drop, poor root development | Chelated Zn, foliar Boron |
Fertilizer Recommendations
Fertilization should align with growth stages: establishment, vegetative growth, and production to maximize yield and quality.
Establishment / Planting
Apply basal NPK and organic amendments to support strong root and early growth.
Vegetative / Biomass Growth
Split N applications; maintain K and Mg for stem strength and leaf expansion.
Productive / Latex or Biomass Yield
Ensure sufficient K, B, and micronutrients to enhance latex flow, starch accumulation, and biomass quality.
Maintenance / Soil Health
