A haploid (H) oil palm containing only one complete set of chromosomes (n=16) will shorten the oil palm conventional breeding cycle, which is currently 15 to 25 years. The haploid palm can be utilised to produce completely homozygous doubled haploid (DH) lines in a single generation. As this is an interesting area of research, we […]
Understanding the dynamics of soil carbon (C) is a crucial component of sustainable agriculture strategies for enhancing soil fertility and accelerating C sequestration. Soil respiration is among the most crucial processes in the C cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. It is the total root respiration and heterotrophic decomposition of soil organic matter. Various methods have been […]
The role of tropical peatlands as a fossil carbon sink and source could be a potential nature-based solution for mitigating the ongoing climatic change. The oil palm cultivation on tropical peat needs to be assessed continuously following the dynamic changes in the oil palm ecosystem, influenced by land use management. This study aims to assess […]
Geospatial technology has been described as systems that collect and process location-specific data about the Earth. The technologies comprise remote sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). Based on this, Oil Palm Resource Information System (OPRIS) was developed based on GIS specific functions to enable a complete geospatial data management workflow. It […]
