Abstract:Drought stress presents a daunting challenge to oil palm cultivation, provoking a number of morphological and physiological responses that impact growth and development. In this study, the effects of drought stress on three cultivars of oil palm, namely GH500 (GH), Yan-gambi (YM) and Carlix (CX) were investigated by subjecting them to varying degrees of drought conditions. Morphological alterations, including leaf drying and necrosis, along with reduced root mass and volume, were observed in drought-stressed s… Show more
