Physical appearance:

1)      Mesocarp of fruitlets are much redder after 9-12 months.

2)      New shoots emerging from the palm are much greener after three months

3)       Texture of frond are much softer, easier to prune after 5-6 motnhs

Other advantages:

1)      Increase yield for up to 5%-25%, depending on initial yield.

2)      Increase O.E.R. by 2%-3%

3)      Instant saving of fertilizer cost over 30%

4)      Increase labor productivity with application of fertilizer 10Ha/day/worker.

5)      Low usage of fertilizer, only require 120 kg/10 Ha/year.

6)      Saving operation,transport and machinery maintenance cost.

7)      Require smaller storage area compared to conventional method, 1080 Kg/Ha/year : 12 kg/ha/year ( 90:1).

8)      No wastage of fertilizer as all taken up by palms.

9)      No additional ground fertilizer required, thus, no loss of fertilizer in leaching, surface runoff and evaporation. Usage of less weedicide minimal weed grown.

10)  Minimal lost or stolen as it is only applicable in plantation installed with trunk injection system.

11)  Continuous monthly supply of readily available macro and micronutrients , regardless of soil and climatical limitations.

12)     Environment friendly, non pollutant to river and waterways.
