Abstract
Since 1983 a total of 1238 ortets of various origins mainly Deli x La Me Deli x Yangambi and Deli x NIFOR has been cloned. The selection of these ortets was made based on high oil yield with a minimum of 8 tonnes/ha oil to bunch of 28 per cent or higher and height increment of less than 0.5 m/year. To date 227 clones have been planted at various locations over an area of 819 hectares mainly as trials and observation plots. Results showed that clones gave between 14 and 33 per cent higher FFB and 11-25 per cent higher oil yield compared to D x P seedlings. The level of abnormality experienced was about 5 percent. The degree of abnormality increased with retention time; hence cultures could not be kept and multiplied over too long a period. Good culture selection in the laboratory followed by strict culling practices in the nursery could help to reduce these problems.
