Measurements of actual greenhouse gases (GHG) like CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions from tropical peatlands in Malaysia are needed to understand the role of peatlands as carbon sequesters (sink) or source when establishing oil palm plantations on tropical peatland. Long-term eddy covariance (EC) measurements, together with carefully focused ecological measurements of meteorological and flux data, […]
The planting of oil palm was quite extensively carried out in the ex-mangrove swamp areas in Sabah before environmental and sustainability issues were taken into consideration in land development. This article examines the approach on reclamation and its weaknesses in two plantations: one in the Kunak district and the other in the Semporna district in […]
Application of P fertiliser is essential to achieve optimal oil palm yield production throughout Sumatra. Two trials were carried out in Sumatra, one in the north on a typical acid volcanic soil dominated by rhyolite and the other in the south on a representative acid volcanic/sedimentary soil dominated by dacite, to determine the most suitable P fertiliser type in these locations. The trials […]
Recurrent cycles of inbreeding (self or sib crosses) have been commonly used in conventional breeding to produce highly homozygous lines in a range of crop species. Thirty-two Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers were involved in assessing the homozygosity of 23 oil palm Single Seed Descent (SSD) programmes which involved 509 parents. From the complete genotype […]
