For your four-year-old coconut plants, applying the right fertilizers is essential for healthy growth and better yield as they approach fruit-bearing age. Here’s a suggested fertilizer regimen:

1. Primary Nutrients
Nitrogen (N): Essential for leafy growth and photosynthesis. Coconut palms respond well to nitrogen, which you can provide with urea.
Phosphorus (P): Supports root development and flowering. Use phosphate fertilizers like single superphosphate (SSP).
Potassium (K): Vital for fruit development and water regulation. Potassium can be added through muriate of potash (MOP).

Application Rate per Tree (per year):
Urea: 500 grams
SSP (Single Super Phosphate): 300 grams
MOP (Muriate of Potash): 750 grams
Apply these nutrients in two split doses — once at the beginning of the 
monsoon season and again after six months.

2. Secondary Nutrients
Magnesium: Important for chlorophyll production. Use 500 grams of magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt) per tree annually.
Calcium: This can be provided through dolomite or gypsum if the soil is acidic, which helps with overall plant health and root development.

3. Micronutrients
Boron: Helps in fruit set and development. Add borax at 50 grams per tree per year.
Zinc: Essential for leaf development and enzyme function. Apply zinc sulfate at 50 grams per tree.

4. Organic Fertilizers
Organic matter, like compost or well-decomposed cow dung, enhances soil structure and provides a slow release of nutrients. Apply 25-30 kg of compost or cow manure per tree annually, ideally before the rainy season to help retain soil moisture.

Application Tips
Apply fertilizers in a ring around the base of the plant, approximately 1-1.5 meters from the trunk, where most active roots are.
Ensure that fertilizers are well incorporated into the soil and water the area after application.
Additional Recommendations
Monitor soil pH, as coconuts prefer a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7).
Regular watering, especially during dry months, is essential, as coconuts are water-intensive.
Mulching with dry leaves or coconut husks around the base can help retain moisture and reduce weed growth.
This regimen should support the strong growth and higher yields of your coconut plants as they mature.
