FruitCrop growing guide
Durio zibethinus
A deep-rooted, heavy-feeding fruit tree that needs excellent drainage and stage-specific nutrition from establishment through fruit fill.
Durian is a long-lived tropical fruit tree whose harvest is prepared years before the fruit appears. The Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture places its ideal average temperature around 20–30°C, rainfall around 1,500–2,500 mm per year, and soil pH around 6.0–7.0. Deep, crumbly topsoil rich in organic matter is important because durian roots need both steady moisture and oxygen; prolonged waterlogging is a serious risk.
A reliable feeding program follows tree age and canopy cycle. Young trees first build roots and framework, bearing trees shift toward flowering and fruit fill, and every productive tree needs recovery after harvest. Soil and leaf analysis should set the final rate, while organic matter, mulch, and split applications keep the root zone stable.
Roots, steady canopy growth, organic matter
Build a wide, oxygenated root zone before chasing fast top growth. Mature compost or a balanced organic base belongs around the outer root zone, not against the trunk. Keep nutrition modest and consistent so shoots harden properly.
Balanced NPK, nitrogen, soil biology
Support leaves and branches that will carry the next crop, but avoid excessive nitrogen. Soft, over-lush growth can compete with flower initiation and is more difficult to manage.
Phosphorus, potassium, stable moisture
Ease back on nitrogen and make phosphorus and potassium available before demand peaks. Avoid a large fertilizer shock close to flowering; split and water in applications around the drip line.
Potassium, phosphorus, calcium and micronutrient balance
Fruit load increases potassium and water demand. Keep soil moisture even and avoid heavy nitrogen that redirects energy to leaves. Monitor crop load and symptoms before repeating any concentrated input.
Organic matter, balanced nutrition, root recovery
Replace exported nutrients and rebuild reserves before the next flush. Combine a balanced feed with mulch or mature compost, then water if rain is not expected.
Match each product to the crop stage and root zone. Final rates should follow the product label, soil condition, and local agronomic advice.
Special organic blend formulated for fruit plant growth and crop quality.
From IDR 28.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)
Recommended for
Pre-flowering · Flowering and fruit fill
A fruit-crop blend suited to the shift from vegetative growth into flowering and fruit development.
Begin before flowering and continue in smaller split applications through fruit development, following the label.
Apply in a broad ring near the outer canopy or drip line, lightly incorporate into moist topsoil, keep clear of the trunk, and water after application.
Apply around the active root zone or mix into the planting media according to the package label, then water lightly. Adjust the amount to plant size, soil condition, and crop stage.
Natural Source of Nitrogen and Phosphorus
From IDR 28.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)
Recommended for
Establishment and young trees · Vegetative flush
Supplies organic nitrogen and phosphorus for early roots, leaves, and branch framework while adding organic material to the root zone.
Use lightly during establishment or active vegetative flush; stop pushing nitrogen as flower initiation approaches.
Use the catalogue’s general 50–100 g/m² range only as a starting guide. Spread across the active root area rather than piling at the trunk, lightly mix, and water. Tree age and soil analysis should set the final orchard rate.
For garden beds and pots, mix the powder into the topsoil or planting hole before sowing, then water in well. As a general guide, work a small handful into the soil around each plant, or roughly 50-100 g per square meter, and repeat every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. For liquid feeding, steep the powder in water overnight (about 1-2 tablespoons per liter), strain, and apply to the root zone. Always water after application and adjust the amount to crop size and stage. Dosages are general guidance; confirm rates for your specific crop.
Most Balanced NPK 5-5-5 Organic Nutritional Fertilizer
From IDR 28.000 / Kg(Packaging 20Kg)
Recommended for
Vegetative flush · Post-harvest recovery
Balanced 5-5-5 nutrition makes it a practical base feed when the tree is rebuilding canopy and reserves.
Apply after harvest or at the start of a new vegetative cycle, ideally with mature compost and mulch.
Distribute evenly around the drip line, lightly work into the surface, and water. Split the seasonal amount instead of placing one concentrated mound.
Use Alitura's Reserve as a base feed at planting and as a top-up through the growing season. As a general guide, work a small handful into the soil around each plant or mix it into potting media before planting, then reapply every 4 to 6 weeks during active growth. For garden beds, broadcast evenly over the soil surface and lightly incorporate, then water in well. Powder works best mixed into soil or media. Always water after applying and adjust the amount to plant size and soil condition.
