Genetic studies in oil palm have been impeded by its long breeding cycle and requirement for large tracts of land for field planting. The application of genomics tools provides an opportunity to overcome these constraints and move forward from the phenotype-driven research that had been the focus previously. In order to develop these tools, the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) and its partners […]
Oil palm growers are able to assign fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yields to individual blocks, and thus are able to manage their plantation (or smallholding) to optimise FFB yield. However, currently it is not possible to attribute oil extraction rate (OER), hence oil yield, in a similar way, because mills process FFB from many sources, deriving a common OER for all the […]
Leguminous Mucuna bracteata DC. ex. Kurz is one of the most commonly planted ground covers in oil palm plantations. However, under uncontrolled conditions, the covers can smother and entangle the palms, especially in young immature plantings. Efficacy of five major types of herbicides – paraquat dichloride (PD), glyphosate isopropylamine (GI), metsulfuron methyl (MM), glufosinate ammonium (GA), and disodium methyl arsenate (DSMA), as well as […]
