poor growth on Date Palm
Quick answer
If your Date Palm has poor growth, the most likely cause is: Organic compost improves soil electrical conductivity, pH, and humates while increasing cation exchange capacity and water holding capacity. Kristalon (19:19:19+micronutrients) provides balanced NPK but combining both produces synergistic effects on chlorophyll content and nutrient uptake.
Start here:
- 1. 1. Prepare growing medium: mix sand with plant remnant compost at 3:1 ratio (v/v)
- 2. 2. Alternatively use sand+animal manure compost at 3:1 ratio for highest chlorophyll a content

How to reverse poor growth on Date Palm
- 1
1. Prepare growing medium: mix sand with plant remnant compost at 3:1 ratio (v/v)
- 2
2. Alternatively use sand+animal manure compost at 3:1 ratio for highest chlorophyll a content
- 3
3. For maximum chlorophyll b: use sand+plant remnant compost 3:1
- 4
4. Apply kristalon (19:19:19+micronutrients) at 0.5g/L as soil drench monthly during growing season
- 5
5. Combine both organic medium amendment AND kristalon fertilization for synergistic growth response
Keep poor growth off this Date Palm
Use plant remnant compost at 3:1 ratio (sand:compost) combined with 0.5g/L kristalon solution as soil drench for optimal seedling growth. This combination maximizes chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid content.
