Internship activities aimed to find out, train and understand the management palm oil plantations especially fertilization management. The collection of data and information was carried out by the direct method and the indirect method. The direct method was carried out to obtain primary data in the field through observations ranging from preparation to implementation of cultivating, fertilizing effectiveness and efficiency through the principle of 5T, direct discussion with estate manager (EM) and the assistant as well as employee. The indirect method is performed to obtain the secondary data from the garden office such as general conditions of the corporation, the climate condition and a type of soil, the condition of a plant, the organizational structure, production data and data related to activity of fertilization. Primary and secondary data is analyzed with descriptive and quantitative methods. Implementation of fertilizing in SDME Division 2 is generally pretty good ranging from preparation to implementation of fertilizing. Fertilizing effectiveness and efficiency with the principles of 5T are not good enough. Therefore, supervision and infrastructure improvements should be done correctly to improve the quality of fertilizing.
