Effect of rhizobacteria on fruit bunch yield of oil palm Elaeis guineensis Jacq.

Shamsuddin Z.H., . and Kang S.H., . (2008) Effect of rhizobacteria on fruit bunch yield of oil palm Elaeis guineensis Jacq. [Proceedings Paper]

A locally isolated endophytic diazotrophic bacterium Bacillus sphaericus UPMB-10 has been reported to stimulate plant growth and significantly produce high Ndfa Nitrogen derived from atmosphere up to 33 in oil palm seedlings and 63 in young immature oil palms. In addition innoculation with UPMB-10 strain has also increased the total-N and total dry matter yield by 20-38 and 25-27 respectively in the immature oil palms. An RCBD experiment 4 treatments x 4 replicates was undertaken as a continuation of the existing biofertilizer UPMB-10 study on young mature 3-5 years oil palm at Tangkak Estate on Bungor Series soil. The earliest data on fruit bunch FB yield was collected in November 2007. Results showed that treatment with UPMB-10 inoculum and 67 inorganic fertilizer-N gave the highest number fruit bunch FB 3/palm and total FB weight 10kg/palmcompare to other treatments. This preliminary study indicated that UPMB-10 strain could effectively increase the yield of young mature oil palm under field condition.
