Long-term crop residue application maintains oil palm yield and temporal stability of production

Abstract: Crop residue management is an important agricultural practice that has a high potential to improve soil health and optimize crop production. Compared to annual crops, relatively little is known about crop residue management effects on the yield and temporal stability of perennial crop production. This study focused on oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), an important tropical crop that had expanded rapidly over the past decades. We aimed to understand the effects of applying a major oil palm residue, the empty fruit … Show more

“…The average FFB production in oil palm plantations of five years and ten years age group were comparable with the studies of Sumathi et al [2] in cauvery delta region. The higher yield is attributed mainly by higher female sex ratio and also comparable with studies of Tao et al [42]. Under favorable growing conditions, an inflorescence is initiated in the axil of each leaf of the palm.…”

“…Upaya untuk menekan laju penurunan C-organik tanah di perkebunan kelapa sawit telah dilakukan melalui penerapan good management practices (Ab Rahman et al 2013;Tohiruddin dan Foster 2013;Tao et al 2017). Meskipun demikian, upaya ini biasanya belum dilakukan secara optimal dan berkesinambungan sehingga C-organik tanah di perkebunan kelapa sawit terus mengalami penurunan seiring pertambahan umur tanaman seperti dilaporkan oleh (Guillaume et al 2016).…”

“…In this paper we present initial results on the effects of management on structural complexity and microclimate. Other published studies from the BEFTA Programme present results on the effects of management on a range of environmental conditions, biodiversity, and functions Slade et al, 2014;Kurz et al, 2016;Tao et al, 2016Tao et al, , 2017Tao et al, , 2018Ashton-Butt et al, 2018, 2019Spear et al, 2018;Eycott et al, 2019;Hood et al, 2019;Luke et al, 2019a;Woodham et al, 2019). Additional studies, which are still in preparation, will further extend our understanding of these linkages, and also consider impacts on yield, profitability, and recommendations for the industry.…”

“…• Additional studies that are within the wider landscape, and have been facilitated by the development of the BEFTA Programme research set-up and collaborations. Example studies include: testing the effectiveness of beneficial planting for herbivory control (Hinsch, 2013); considering the potential for cattle grazing within mature oil palm to provide ecosystem function benefits (Slade et al, 2014); assessing the benefits of Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) fertilisers and other soil management techniques for soil biodiversity, function, and yield (Tao et al, 2016(Tao et al, , 2017(Tao et al, , 2018; and measuring ecosystem functions in mature oil palm riparian buffers (Woodham et al, 2019). • Ability to test the impacts of oil palm replanting.…”
