Remote Sensing (RS) technology has come a long way in assisting the oil palm plantations to increase productivity while simplifying tedious and laborious field work. Utilising the highly accurate RS data like Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) is one of those ways. In this paper, the IFSAR data is used to assist in the identification […]
The choice of fertiliser recommended and applied in the oil palm estates has significant impact on the production of fresh fruit bunches (FFB). While it has been established that more application rounds at lower dosages is more efficient for nutrient uptake for the oil palms, it is not practical on the ground for the planters […]
Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has developed a hand-held motorised harvesting tool called Cantas for fresh fruit bunches (FFB) harvesting. Several local and foreign companies have been licensed to manufacture and market the technology. It is crucial that the machine complies with the industry standard in terms of performance, durability and safety. In fulfilling this, […]
