Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emission from agriculture is one of the most important sources of greenhouse gases (GHG). Even though oil palm is the most widely cultivated agricultural crop in the tropics, we have relatively poor understanding of the range and magnitude of N2O fluxes from oil palm. Due to the rapid nitrogen (N) cycling through […]
Ganoderma disease in oil palm caused by Ganoderma boninense fungus has resulted in a significant loss of economic income to Malaysia. There is a need to develop an airborne-based Ganoderma disease detection technology to reduce cost and time, and to cover wide-scale oil palm plantation area. This study examines the performance of red-green-blue (RGB) and […]
Field establishment of all seedlings was satisfactory, except for younger seedlings aged 6 and 8-month old (A6 and A8 treatments) which resulted in high mortality due to transplanting shock and pest’s infestation. At the immature stage, the vegetative growth differed signiftcantly with the seedlings age. However, at the mature stage, the vegetative growth affected by […]
Discussed on the development of PORIM, objectives, early research in oil palm, the need for the established of PORIM, the board of director and progress with the establishment of PORIM.
Deterioration of quality implies changes taking place in a product of initial acceptable quality. These changes occur during storage after production and are not the same as the manufacture of an inferior product. The article discussed on the chemical changes, hydrolytic and oxidative changes that caused deterioration, the factors influenced the rate of deterioration and […]
The rapid development of oil palm planting industry in Malaysia has given rise to singularly unique hazards to our environmental quality. Most of these are problems pertaining to water and air pollutions churned out at the factory processing level. Mulching practices discussed in the article are fibres and shells, empty bunches, fronds and inflorescence, trunks […]
The yield of oil palm is known to vary, among other variabilities, with a fairly regular 12-month cycle. Most of the observations on the seasonal variation were based on particular fields. It is perhaps still not well-known to what extent such systematic variations in the yield of oil palm are consistent over the whole peninsular. […]
Dengan tertubuhnya PORIM dalam tahun 1979 program-program penyelidikan kelapa sawit yang sedang dijalankan di MARDI telah dipindahkan kepada PORIM. Tujuan utama program-program penyelidikan bahagian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengeluaran minyak, mengurangkan kos pengeluaran dan membaiki kualiti minyak. Makalah ini membincangkan program-program penyelidikan kelapa sawit yang telah diatur berserta beberapa disiplin yang berkaitan
Tiga belas sifat-sifat tampang telah diukur pada populasi kelapa sawit dari Nigeria yang telah ditanam di Kluang. Kesemua tiga belas sifat-sifat ini ada hubungan secara positif diantara satu sama lain pada peringkat populasi, famili dan biji-benih. Walau bagaimana pun pengeluaran pelepah didapati mempunyai hubungan negatif dengan sifat-sifat yang lain pada peringkat populasi. Analisa ‘covariance’ telah […]
Sifat-sifat fizikal dan kimia bahan-bahan adalah berkaitan rapat. Ini adalah benar keatas minyak-minyak dan lemak-lemak. Minyak-minyak kacang soya dan kacang tanah, yang tidak tepu adalah cair di suhu ambien walaupun dalam hawa sejuk. Minyak kelapa sawit sebaliknya, mempunyai febih kurang 50% komponen tepu, nampak keras di suhu ambien. Sifat-sifat fizikal adalah mustahak sebab keputusan untuk […]
