“…In particular, the final stage EFB compost B showed a high nutrient content with N, P, and K values of 2.21%, 3.65%, and 0.49%, respectively. The N, P, and K values were higher compared EFB compost prepared via cocomposting with palm oil decanter cake obtained in Adam et al (2016). Essential micronutrient metals such as Zn, Mn, Ni, Cu and B are found higher in EFB compost B compared to the EFB compost A (Table 3).…”

Overabundance of empty fruit bunches (EFB) from palm oil industries has opened opportunity for its exploitationfor agricultural use as compost. In this study, palm oil EFB compost was prepared by the addition of wood chipsas a bulking agent and chicken manure to enhance the composting rate. Moisture was maintained at 50-70%during the 2-month composting. Results showed that the EFB compost containing high mineralisation indexcompared to the initial EFB samples after two months of the composting process. The important macronutrients;N, P, K, Ca and Mg and micronutrients Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cu and B were found present in the EFB composts. Thefinal stage of EFB compost B showed high nutrient content with N, P, and K values of 2.21%, 3.65%, and 0.49%,respectively. Fe was the most outstanding element in the EFB compost as high as 9000 ppm. Germination resultsshowed that EFB compost with EFB:wood chips at 1:3 ratio exhibited better growth of leaves and root ofRaphanus sativs L. compared to 1:2 ratio. This indicated that the EFB compost is capable in improving soilfertility and growth of plants.

Biological agents are critical in the management of major diseases in oil palm plantations. The potential of arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma spp. to control basal stem rot disease was investigated in this study. Three-month-old seedlings treated with AMF since the beginning of planting demonstrated AMF colonization of the roots. With a 25 gram AMF treatment in the main nursery, AMF colonization increased by 85.99% in TBM-1 (the 1-year immature plant). In TBM-2, AMF colonization increased by 86.00-97.33% (2-year immature plant). All of the treatments started with 30 grams of Trichoderma spp. applied at the start of pre-nursery planting. Root colonization and the number of spores in the root rhizosphere in TBM-2 had a strong relationship (2-year immature plant). AMF inoculation had a significant impact on root colonization and spore number response. According to this study, the application of 25 grams of AMF in the pre-nursery and main nursery, as well as repeated additions at planting, were found to be effective in controlling attacks of basal stem rot disease through early prevention strategies.

“…In contrast to typical plant responses to water de cit, oil palm exhibits a distinct pattern. Rather than displaying wilting or delayed owering, it produce a surplus of male in orescences while prematurely withering female in orescences, thereby lowering palm productivity (Adam et al, 2016). Soil moisture uctuations promote further complications, triggering alterations within the palm structure and impeding root elongation, particularly in response to soil compaction (Fahramand et al, 2014).…”

Drought stress presents a daunting challenge to oil palm cultivation, provoking a number of morphological and physiological responses that impact growth and development. In this study, the effects of drought stress on three cultivars of oil palm, namely GH500 (GH), Yan-gambi (YM) and Carlix (CX) were investigated by subjecting them to varying degrees of drought conditions. Morphological alterations, including leaf drying and necrosis, along with reduced root mass and volume, were observed in drought-stressed seedlings compared to well-watered controls. Additionally, chlorophyll content exhibited distinct patterns among cultivars under different drought intensities, with GH showing pronounced sensitivity even to mild stress. Chlorophyll reduction was accompanied by diminished transpiration rates, indicating the plant's adaptive response to conserve water under stress conditions. Interestingly, the decline in chlorophyll concentration preceded the onset of severe drought, highlighting its potential as an early indicator of stress. Concurrently, photosynthesis exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing drought severity, reflecting the pivotal role of chlorophyll and intracellular CO2 concentration in sustaining photosynthetic activity. Despite reduced transpiration, CX and YM cultivars displayed a balance between photosynthesis and transpiration, indicating their adaptive capacity to maintain essential physiological functions. Based on these observations, it can be inferred that the YM and CX cultivars may possess higher resistance or tolerance to drought stress compared to the GH cultivar. The complex interplay between physiological parameters emphasize the multifaceted nature of oil palm's response to drought stress, with implications for its long-term viability and resilience in changing environmental conditions. Our findings shed light on the mechanisms underlying oil palm's response to drought stress and provide valuable insights for enhancing its stress tolerance and sustainability in the face of climate variability. Exploring the proteomics and metabolomics governing the plant response will go a long way in providing effective clues for interventions efforts to mitigate the effects of drought on oil palm.
