Variasi pada tandan-tandan buah Elaeis oleifera dikaji dengan menganalisis secara terperinci dua belas babagian tandan dari dua puluh tandan masak. Pada keseluruhannya, babagian atas tandan mempunyai lebih buah serta mutu yang lebih tinggi. Peratus kandungan isirong adalah lebih tinggi pada bahagian tandan yang paling bawah. Buah-buah pada bahagian luar pada tiap-tiap spikelet adalah juga lebih […]
About a dozen plant species account for more than 90% of _the world’s production of vegetable oils and fats. Most commercially traded vegetable oils and fats are obtained either from seeds ( e.g. com oil, groundnut oil, soya bean oil, palm kernel oil) or other parts of fruits ( e.g. olive oil, palm oil). Most […]
Penggunaan baja yang optimum bagi kelapa sawit di sesuatu kawasan bergantung kepada nutrien, tanah dan keberkesanan pendapatan balik baja. Di dalam artikel ini ditunjukkan bagaimana perbezaan antara ciri-ciri pokok dan kawasan boleh mengubah keperluan baja walaupun pada siri tanah yang sama. Jika perbezaan ini diambilkira maka faedah dan penggunaan baja boleh dipertingkatkan.
Penggunaan substrat semasa peringkat awal tumbesaran mayang kelapa sawit adatah merupakan kurang dari 0.1 % daripada keupayaan fotosintesis pelepah yang mencengkam, dan luruhan bunga tidak boleh dianggap disebabkan oleh kekurangan substrat. Kandungan proline yang amat tinggi didapati pada bunga muda. Ini rnenunjukkan kesesakan air setempat. Pernah dikatakan bahawa pengguguran adalah akibat dari permintaan air berlebihan […]
Sektor pekebun kecil persendirian sawit perlu dibangunkan secara lebih terancang bagi memastikan bahawa pendapatan yang didapati dari komoditi ini adalah berpadanan dan sejaJar dengan perkembangan ekonomi negara ke arah status perindustrian. Walaupun Dasar Pertanian Negara 1992-2010 membayangkan bahawa sektor pekebun kecil persendirian akan lenyap melalui penggabungan kebun-kebun kecil, namun dengan berdasarkan peratus perkembangan semasa, sektor […]
As the oil palm industry stands poised to enter the 21stcentury, it is an appropriate time to take stock of the lessons learned in the first 100 years of the crop in Malaysia. The end of the century is not just time to look at Y2K compliance for the new century, but, more importantly, to […]
National data for Malaysia on annual palm oil yields per hectare were re-examined in the light of their apparent lack of improvement over the last few decades. Published yields were compared to yields re-calculated from basic data on total crude palm oil (CPO) production and mature planted area. While some discrepancies were evident between the […]
A total of 100 dura x pisifera (DxP) progenies from seven seed producers (agencies) in Malaysia were evaluated in a comparative trial in Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia. The trial mean for fresh fruit bunch (FFB) was 168.18 kg palm-1 yr-1 and the oil to bunch (O/B) was 22.73%. High FFB yield was largely attributed to […]
The high cost of labour coupled with an acute shortage of agricultural workers in the plantation sector have made mechanization necessary. The role of machine in terms of mobility and function was accurately defined. The design and construction of an experimental transporter for fresh fruit bunch (FFB) collection in soft ground areas and peat are […]
This paper develops the concept of the Malaysian National Average Oil Palm and evaluates the physiological characteristics required to produce the mean fresh fruit bunch (FFB) and mesocarp oil yields recorded in Malaysia between 1996-2000. The results are contrasted with those for oil palm in years of peak yield and with palms growing on a […]
