Basal stem rot (BSR) disease caused by the Ganoderma species is a serious problem to the oil palm industry (Idris,2012). MPOB has introduced the integrated Ganoderma Management (IGM) to find solution to the disease (Idris, 2011). Plant nutrients are primary components of disease control in many crops (Sharma, 2006; Mcmahon, 2012). Nutrients are inorganic elements that have been essential and specific functions in plant metabolism. Mineral nutrients are commonly used in fertilisers to enhance plant growth. In other words, it is beneficial in the protection against abiotic and biotic stresses. The importance of applications of balanced nutrients that has to be considered for reducing risk of Ganoderma in oil palm in order to increase yield and cost-effectiveness of fertilisers usage (Mohd Tayeb et al., 2013)
