“…Because of huge developmental potential, commercial cultivation of E. guineensis for palm oil production has come in focus. However, low temperature in these regions (generally lower than 20°C) results in slowing of flower bud differentiation, low fruit yield, and poor economy, subsequently severely affecting the development of oil palm industry in China (Ferwerda, 1977;Yunus et al, 2010;Lei et al, 2014). In-depth study of the species, focused on understating traits to improve breeding and cultivation, has significance and value in industry development.…”

ABSTRACT. Genetic diversity and patterns of population structure of the 94 oil palm lines were investigated using species-specific simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. We designed primers for 63 SSR loci based on their flanking sequences and conducted amplification in 94 oil palm DNA samples. The amplification result showed that a relatively high level of genetic diversity was observed between oil palm individuals according a set of 21 polymorphic microsatellite loci. The observed heterozygosity (H o ) was 0.3683 and 0.4035, with an average of 0.3859. The H o value was a reliable determinant of the discriminatory power of the SSR primer combinations. The principal component analysis and unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averaging cluster analysis showed the 94 oil palm lines were grouped into one cluster. These results demonstrated that the oil palm in Hainan Province of China and the germplasm introduced from Malaysia may be from the same source. The SSR protocol was effective and reliable for assessing the genetic diversity of oil palm. Knowledge of the genetic 16248 L.X.

“…Palm oil is a tropical plant that grows commonly in the hot and humid tropical climatic conditions with optimal temperatures ranging from 80-90 o F. Henry [3] and Ferwerda [4] reported that an average daily temperature which is below 75°F is highly favorable for the cultivation of palm oil. Evenly distributed annual rainfall ranging from 2000 to 3000 mm is highly congenial for its growth and development.…”

Palm Oil - Current Status and Updates

India is one of the largest producers and consumers of edible oils and fats in the world. It contributes to about 7–8% of the world’s oilseeds and 6–7% of the global vegetable oils and is the fifth largest edible oil economy in the world. Even though India occupies a prominent position in the global oilseed production, its average yield for major oilseeds is 40–60% below the world average and has been growing at a slow pace. India is having rich agroecological diversity and is ideally suited for growing all major oil seed crops. It is reported that India excessively import edible oil such as palm oil from Malaysia and Indonesia and soybean oil from Argentina because the average yield of many of these oil seed crops is very low, compared to other crops like palm oil. This stressful situation is further aggravated by some traders who indulge in malpractices of adulteration of these oils with cheaper oils and synthetic colors for economic benefit. This chapter discusses the state-of-the-art of crop management and processing of palm oil, which is considered as the future crop.

“…The ideal rainfall for oil palm growth is 2000-2500 mm/year because the effective water requirement for oil palm is 1300-1500 mm/year (Ferwerda, 1977). Conditions of high rainfall affect the formation and development of female flowers into fruit that fail to form.…”

Oil palm (Elaeis Guineensis Jagc.) is an oil palm plant belonging to the palm group which is an annual plant, oil palm is also a source of non-oil and gas foreign exchange for Indonesia. This research activity was carried out at PT. Socfindo Kebun seunagan, Nagan Raya, West Sumatra from 18 November 2021 to 16 December 2021. Research activities are specifically at learning and improving technical and managerial skills. The data obtained are primary data (direct) and secondary data (indirect). Primary data is data that the author directly observed during his internship at PT. Socfindo, in the form of plant height, stem diameter, and number of leaves. Direct observations to determine technical activities in the field and compared to standards, as well as direct discussions with workers and staff about oil palm nurseries. Secondary data obtained from daily reports, monthly reports and plant archives, secondary data includes climate, fertilization, organizational structure and matters related to labor. Observations on the vegetative growth of oil palm seedlings are expected to achieve appropriate growth. The purpose of this observation activity is to improve understanding, and technical skills, as well as to analyze oil palm nursery activities at the Pre-nursery and Main nursery stages at PT. Socfindo Seunagan Gardens.
