Pelaksanaan konsep tepat waktu di SCME belum sepenuhnya sesuai dengan urutan pemupukan 2014. Curah hujan di SCME cenderung fluktuatif, namun secara umum konsep tepat waktu telah terlaksana dengan baik. Bobot karung untilan telah tepat dosis, namun untuk dosis aplikasi, ketepatannya masih belum 100% tepat. Berdasarkan pengamatan secara visual terdapat defisiensi unsur hara Fe, namun tidak ada jenis pupuk yang diaplikasi yang memiliki kandungan hara tersebut.
