Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB)
Hasil BTB sebagai gerakbalas dari baja fosfat batuan yang diberi pada pokok sawit dalam 10 kajian baja yang dibuat pada berbagai jenis tanah di Semenanjung Malaysia dilaporkan bagi dua tempoh waktu yang berlainan. Pada tanah yang berasal dan batu mendak dan lanar pesisir, gerakbalas hasil bagi pokok sawit yang ditanam semula tenhadap CIRP pada amnya […]
The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) studied the effects of applying oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) to oil palm planted on bris soil. Several combinations of EFB with inorganic fertilizers were also tested. The results showed that with proper management, bris soil with no water limitation has the potential to be developed for oil […]
Marginal soils were usually discounted in the past for planting of oil palm. Currently, the en-croachment into these areas is phenomenal as there is no more prime land for oil palm planting in the country. Innovations to counter such limitations have been successful for the cultiva-tion of oil palm but the cost can be high. […]
A split-split plot trial involving oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) at four population densities (140, 160, 180 and 200 palms ha -1 ), two palm progenies (PS1 and commercial DxP) and three levels of nitrogen (N0 – control, N1 -0.63 kg N palm -1 yr -1 , and N2 – 1.26 kg N palm -1yr […]
High water tables, indicating impeded drainage, are known to reduce yields although quantitative information is somewhat sparse. However, complete flooding can cause death of young palms as well as reduce the yield of older ones. Uncertainties exist as to how effectively oil palm roots function when in saturated soil, both in terms of absorbing water, […]
This article discusses various techniques of soil and water conservation, and nutrient recycling practices in oil palm plantations with the aims of achieving the yield potential while safeguarding the environment using the most appropriate techniques for managing soils, water and nutrients so as to reduce soil deterioration and erosion. During the early stage of plantation […]
