ENVIRONMENT ISSUES DUE TO OVERLY USE OF CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS IN PALM TREES PLANTATIONS
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The impact of overly use of fertilizers in the palm trees (Elais guinensiss Jacq) towards the environment is a serious problem in Indonesia. This research questions the use of fertilizers of the companies that apply this method in palm trees. Data obtained show that the use of nutrient nitrogen excessively increased the damage by pests and diseases, to prolong life, and plants more easily fall. Nitrate contamination is particularly harmful to infants and young children in causing methemoglobinemia, a reduction in the blood hemoglobin level. This research suggests to Indonesian government to regulate the use of fertilizers and control the multinational companies in application of chemical fertilizers.
