Observation & Background

Based on our solid background knowledge and experience in plantation, we are fully prepared to face any plantation related issue in Saudi Arabia. Throughout our 20 years of experience, we have observed that most plants are likely to have diseases and/or infections.

Main Common Issues

Soil: Symptoms of the plants show high ratio of Sodium and Chloride.
Tissue: Observed low level of major elements and high deficiency in Trace Elements (Zn, Cu, Mo, B and Mg).
Roots: Observed infestation with root knots Nematode, being more severe in Yellow trees. Nematode problem increases during summer mostly in sandy soils causing the trees to weaken and explains the yellowing. Nematode also causes root infection such as Fusarium root which rots trees, khamedj disease which increases the Damage of the trees.
Insects, termite and (Fungal)Fusarium

Prevention Plan

We apply the following systematic pesticides for rehabilitating soil and plants of any kind and controlling all kinds of diseases / infections

Palm Trees and other Plants

Against all infection including Red palm weevil

Nematodes (all soil pest, soil borne diseases)

Using Nematicides.

(Fungal) Fusarium

Using Fungicides.

Insects

Using Insecticides

Weeds control

Using Herbicides

Soil treatment

Analysis of soil (Soil ph, E.C, salt level sodium and chloride level)

Moreover, taking the environment of the pest into consideration as well as various control methods, a major element to prevent infestation includes the following activities:

Exclude or control destructive pests, diseases and weeds out of plants.
Exclude or control harmful insects, plant diseases and weeds.
Quarantine plants to ensure they are pest free.

1. Organic fertilizer (manures)
2. Perlite
3. Compound fertilizers N.P.K + trace elements (B, Cl, Cu, Zn, Mg and Mo)
4. Organic fertilizers (Peat and Butting Soil)
