Analysis of growth of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) I. Estimation of growth parameters and application in breeding

Abstract: Non-destructive methods for estimation of Crop Growth Rate and Harvest Index of the oil plam (Elaeis guineensis JACQ.) are described . These methods were applied in a selection experiment, and the importance of considering Harvest Index, Leaf Area Index and planting density in selecting for increased yields is discussed .

“…De acordo com Corley et al (1971), a produção de matéria seca total no dendezeiro apresenta alta correlação com a produção de cachos, mas não é correlacionada com a matéria seca vegetativa. Essa informação sugere que não deverá haver ganho indireto na produção pela seleção de plantas com maior produção de matéria seca na parte vegetativa.…”

“…In 1848, some oil palm seedlings were transported from its native range to Southeast (SE) Asia where they were planted in the Botanic Garden of Bogor, Indonesia [41]. The young oil palm seedlings grew rapidly in their new habitats characterised by relatively higher rainfall and longer photoperiods as well as express higher productivity due to the partitioning of more resources for the production of fruit bunch [44,45]. This productivity-enhancing effect of SE Asia climatic conditions on oil palm is further enhanced by the absence of major pest and diseases which are common environmental challenges in West Africa.…”

“…Early work in Malaysia laid many of the foundations needed for basic physiological, agronomic and breeding studies by establishing non-destructive methods of assessing leaf area and dry matter production (DMP) (Hardon et al, 1969;Corley et al, 1971a). These have since greatly facilitated the estimation of productivity and its response to climatic and edaphic variables (Squire, 1985;Henson and Chang, 2000).…”
