    This document provides an overview of oil palm irrigation systems and their benefits. It discusses the water requirements for oil palm nurseries and plantations to maximize yield and profit. Regular irrigation can increase fruit production by over 5 metric tons per hectare and reduce losses during harvesting peaks. While initial investment costs range from $2,000-3,500 per hectare, the return on investment is less than 5 years thanks to increased yields. Reliable water sources that provide at least 150% of maximum needs are critical to properly design effective irrigation solutions.

    OIL PALM IRRIGATION SYSTEMS

    With rainfall <100 mm/Month for more than 1 month/year, Oil Palm irrigation is feasible (ROI < 5yrs)
    Ideal rainfall requirement is 2,000 to 3,500 mm/annum and not less than 100 mm/month
    High production is achieved where the annual water deficit < 200mm / Ann
    Prolonged moisture stress causes decreased sex ratio and decreased yield is reflected 19-22 months later
    Moisture stress results in harvesting peaks often resulting in fruit loss (OER) due to inadequate labour
    and CPO mills designed at maximum input, operate below capacity for most of the year

    Oil Palm Irrigation objectives - Nursery Oil Palm Irrigation objectives - Plantations
    1. Produce healthy, disease free uniformly 1. Increase FFB yield & OER to increase Net Profit / Ha
    sized seedlings on time for planting 2. Minimize harvesting peaks Increase OER by reducing
    fruit loss (inadequate labour during harvesting peak)

    Additional advantages of irrigating oil palm


    1. Applying fertilizer via the irrigation: Frequent application, low labour cost and lower risk of in-field losses (theft)
    2. Bio-fungicide, bio -pesticide & soil bio-conditioners (induce resistance to ganoderma) can be applied via irrigation

    Oil Palm Water supply and irrigation requirements Best Practice


    Water requirements - Nursery Stage
    Requires 1.4mm to 5mm per day in 1 to 3 applications per day
    Water requirement and application frequency depends on rainfall, soil media, seedling age, temperature & humidity
    Water requirements - Plantation Stage
    Requires 5 to 10 mm per day throughout the year
    Water requirement depends on soil type, age of oil palm, temperature, humidity and rainfall
    The irrigation system capacity must be designed to avoid annual water deficit above 200 mm per year

    Water source
    Adequate, reliable and good water quality is a fundamental requirement to irrigation system and design:
    Water supply/source required: Equal to + 150% of maximum water requirement
    Expert required to conduct site selection, soil assessment, design & construction
    Reduce evaporation by constructing deeper storage

    Irrigation investment analysis


    Nursery irrigation system Investment cost: US$ 2,000 to US$ 3,500 / Ha (excludes water storage)
    Plantation irrigation Investment cost: US$ 2,500 to US$ 3,500 / Ha (excludes water storage)
    Target yield increase: 5 Mt/Ha (FFB) or 1 Mt CPO / ROI < 5 years (after installation)
    Irrigation infrastructure can be depreciated over 15 to 25 years
