Water defisit and irrigation in oil palm: a review of recent studies and findings
MOHD ROSLAN Md Noor , MOHD HANIFF HarunThe role of water deficit in oil palm is discussed in this paper. Factors such as evapotranspiration, relative humidity and vapour pressure deficit affect the carbon assimilation process and oil palm growth in general. Various irrigation techniques have been tried to overcome this water deficit and some of the results are discussed.
