Abstract
The economic life of oil palm is around 25-30 years after which they are replanted. In the past the old stands were felled shredded and burnt. However with the growing awareness on environmental issues and government legislation against open burning the Malaysian Oil Palm Industry has done away with the practice of burning palm residues. Currently the old palms are felled shredded and left to rot in situ. This paper details the current practice of palm to palm replanting in Sime Darby's coastal estates. Integration of this technique with land forming practices for mechanization and pest and disease control are also elaborated.
