Yield performance of Guthrie D x P planting material on inland soils in Malaysia

Yong Y.Y., . and Chan K.W., . (1992) Yield performance of Guthrie D x P planting material on inland soils in Malaysia. [Proceedings Paper]

The yield performance of Guthrie DxP planting material grown commercially in Guthrie estates on various inland soils and under various rainfall regimes total rainfall and total raindays in West Malaysia was reviewed. A total of 24 sites were studied. The mean fresh fruit bunch FFB yield over all sites with various soil series and rainfall regimes was 23 t/ha and yields were found to range from 14 t/ha on Malacca soil series under less favourable rainfall regime to 31 t/ha on Durian soil series under more favourable rainfall regime.

The concurrent implementation of new agromanagement techniques especially when palms are grown in poorer soils would no doubt raise the yield closer to the potential of the oil palm

Abstract

The yield performance of Guthrie DxP planting material grown commercially in Guthrie estates on various inland soils and under various rainfall regimes total rainfall and total raindays in West Malaysia was reviewed. A total of 24 sites were studied. The mean fresh fruit bunch FFB yield over all sites with various soil series and rainfall regimes was 23 t/ha and yields were found to range from 14 t/ha on Malacca soil series under less favourable rainfall regime to 31 t/ha on Durian soil series under more favourable rainfall regime. Similarly elite DxP hybrids evaluated in progeny trials have realised FFB and oil yield exceeding 30 and 7 t/ha respectively. Such elite DxP hybrids are now available for exploitation. The concurrent implementation of new agromanagement techniques especially when palms are grown in poorer soils would no doubt raise the yield closer to the potential of the oil palm
