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 […]
