The data acquisition output revealed the presence of water retention after raining in some areas of the plantation. The oil palm trees in that area have dry and yellowish fronds, particularly the older fronds, indicating low chlorophyll content and nutrient deficiencies. This is a common occurrence when applied fertiliser is washed away during rainfall. Fertilizers lost through leaching can contaminate water sources.
