Long-Term Block-Level Oil Palm Productivity Dataset with Leaf Nutrient and Soil Fertility Measurements from an Indonesian Plantation

The core dataset comprises 6,552 monthly block-level observations covering 42 plantation blocks from 2012 to 2024. Variables include fresh fruit bunch production, productivity, productive area, productive palm population, planting year, plant age, planting material, and production status.

Supporting leaf laboratory data comprise 256 Leaf Sampling Unit (LSU) sampling events collected between 2015 and 2022, including N, P, K, Ca, Mg, and B measurements where available. An LSU may represent one or multiple plantation blocks; therefore, composite laboratory measurements are retained at the LSU sampling-event level and linked to the corresponding anonymous member blocks through a separate relational table. Soil laboratory measurements from 2017 and 2020 include soil texture, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable cations, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, and exchangeable aluminium.
