Yield gaps in oil palm: A quantitative review
Oil palm, currently the world’s main vegetable oil crop, is characterised by a large productivity and a long life span (≥25 years). Peak oil yields of 12 t ha −1 yr −1 have been achieved in small plantations, and maximum theoretical yields as calculated with
Oil palm yield prediction across blocks from multi-source ... - Springer
Oil palm cultivation typically yields 3.3 t ha 鈭?1, significantly more than vegetable oil crops such as soybean, which yield only 0.4 t ha 鈭?1 (Fairhurst and Mutert 1999). Early oil palm yield forecasting is critical in supporting plantation managers in making better decisions for addressing the underlying cause of crop yield decline based on pertinent factors.
Oil Palm Breeding in the Modern Era: Challenges
Oil palm, a cross-pollinated crop with long generation time, poses a lot of challenges in achieving sustainable oil palm with high yield and quality. The African oil
Yield gaps in oil palm: A quantitative review of contributing factors
Four yield phases have been described ( Fig. 1 ): 1) the immature or 榶ield building phase? up to 2? years after planting (YAP), before harvestable production begins and when the canopy is not yet closed; 2) the young mature phase or 榮teep ascent yield phase? 4? YAP, when leaf area and yield increase linearly; 3) the mature or 榩lateau yield
Oil palm in the 2020s and beyond: challenges
Background Oil palm, Elaeis guineensis, is by far the most important global oil crop, supplying about 40% of all traded vegetable oil. Palm oils are key dietary
The environmental impacts of palm oil in context | Nature Plants
The clearance of forests and drainage of peatlands for oil palm emit substantial carbon dioxide 56. Oil palms can maintain high rates of carbon uptake 57 and their oil can potentially be used to
Improving Sustainability of Palm Oil Production
Empty Fruit BunchesPalm Press FibresOil Recovery from Palm Oil Mill EffluentTypically, a palm oil mill produces around 22 to 27% of EFB with respect to FFB (Aziz et al. 2015; Kramanandita et al. 2014; Mamat et al. 2017). EFB normally contain about 0.5% (wrt FFB) of residual oil. The residual oil in the EFB can be recovered through mechanical mean using a screw press, also known as an EFB press. The pressing process introdu...
Oil palm in the 2020s and beyond: challenges and solutions
Background Oil palm, Elaeis guineensis, is by far the most important global oil crop, supplying about 40% of all traded vegetable oil. Palm oils are key dietary components consumed daily by over three billion people, mostly in Asia, and also have a wide range of important non-food uses including in cleansing and sanitizing products.
