Abstract
Oil palm planting materials that are available in the markets are mix DxP seeds near single-cross DxP seeds semi- and bi-clonal DxP seeds and Tenera Clones. The latter is asexually produced through tissue culture technology while others are seeds that are sexually produce. All these planting materials are defined according to the method of production and hence do not indicate their performance. In Malaysia all commercial oil palm planting materials are regulated by MPOB and SIRIM. Performance of all commercial oil palm planting materials theoretically should have met the minimum standard set by MPOB and SIRIM. The degree of uniformity increase according to the listed sequence; mix DxP seeds being most variable and clones being most uniform. Applied Agricultural Resources Sdn Bhd AAR deploys the semi-clonal DxP seeds strategy to bulk reproduce the top DxP crosses. Through semi-clonal DxP seeds approach the estimated improvement is 22 more in oil yield with shorter fronds and similar height when compared against the early generation AA DxP. The current DxP produced by AAR takes the name AA Hybrida I. The annual production of AA Hybrida I is 8-10 million DxP seeds with 80 of them being semi-clonal. Experimental field trials are being conducted to evaluate D xP and D xP with one of the objectives to demonstrate that the performance of D xP and D xP are the same. The success to good performance planting materials depends heavily on well-tailored breeding program. Stalk length oil quality fruit size disease tolerance and palm stature are also traits of interests in oil palm breeding apart from oil yield.
