“…The production of FFB and CPO in Malaysia has been significantly reduced by droughts (12% and 10% respectively) (Adnan 2015 ; Amirul et al 2016 ). Prolonged droughts has been reported as responsible for reducing the growth and development of oil palm, which results in lower yield (Noor and Harun 2004 ; Silva et al 2016 ; Culman et al 2019 ) and has a direct effect on FFB formation (Putra et al 2015 ; Najihah et al 2019 ). Plant physiology is hugely affected by drought stress, leading to the decline in productivity (Fathi and Tari 2016 ; Fahad et al 2017 ; Kapoor et al 2020 ).…”

The interaction and the interplay of climate change with oil palm production in the Southeast Asia region are of serious concern. This particularly applies in Malaysia due to its rank as the second largest palm oil producer in the world. The anthropogenic activities and the agroecological practices in oil palm plantation, including excessive use of fertilisers, bush fire due to land clearing, and cultivation on peatland, have exacerbated the effects of climate change featuring extreme events, drought, flooding, heatwave, as well as infestation of pest and diseases. These adverse impacts on oil palm production highlight the significance of deploying effective adaptation strategies. The study aims to examine the impact of climate change on oil palm production and identify the farmers’ adaptation strategies to the impacts of climate change in Malaysia. This study was conducted a comprehensive review of the articles published from 2000 to 2021 in the contexts of climate change and oil palm production in Malaysia. The review shows that climate change has a range of impacts on the oil palm production in Malaysia. As a result, several adaptation options were identified, such as breeding of hybrid varieties that are tolerant and resistant to heat; sustainable management of soil; pit and tranches to enhance water management in plantation areas; minimal use of fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides; zero burning; and minimum tillage. The reviewed studies recommended the following to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change: sustainable national policy on climate change, conservation of the existing carbon stock, effective management of tropical rainforest biodiversity, afforestation for carbon sequestration, and reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission.

“…Technologically, planting material and soil is relatively easy to engineer or process, while climate needs a detailed and in-depth study of natural phenomena. Climate is posited as a crucial factor in its influence on oil palm productivity [6][7][8][9]. Several previous researchers have made studies on these interactions, including [2,8].…”

“…The definition of water deficit is the discrepancy between field capacity and the amount of water retained in the soil at a certain period [8][9]. Water deficit in oil palm plants on peatlands can occur due to two things, namely climate anomalies and improper water management (implication of irreversible drying).…”

The effect of water deficit on inflorescence period at palm oil productivity on peatland

Various factors influence palm oil production, including planting material, environment (climate and soil), and cultivation management. The environment occupies a crucial position that can affect crop production potential even with optimal cultivation management. Unfavorable climatic conditions, for instance, drought, can cause water deficit, which has implications for crop productivity. This paper aims to get a comparative study for the effect of water deficit on the inflorescence period, namely the sex determination phase (29 months before harvesting) and floral abortion (10 months before harvesting). The research was carried out on oil palm plantations on peatland in Riau, Indonesia, with the characteristic annual rainfall of 2000 mm/ year. This study employs a simple regression analysis on panel data of five years and two estates for data analysis. The result highlights that the increase of a 100 mm water deficit on oil palm peatland plantation impacts the decrease in productivity by 6% in the sex determination phase. In contrast, in the floral abortion phase, the decline in productivity is more significant, namely 7%. The analysis also indicated that the research deficit had more impact on the bunch number than the bunch weight.

“…However, how to reasonably separate canopy temperature from surface temperature when the vegetation coverage is low caused overestimation of crop transpiration [17]. Moreover, how to accurately determine dependable threshold values for irrigation decision-making is also a difficult point for automatic irrigation [18]. So far, few publications have been found using WUE l as the threshold value of wheat to support data-driven automatic irrigation.…”

Drought significantly threatens crop productivity and food security worldwide. However, the severity of drought is predicted to increasingly intensify in the future. To provide an antidrought strategy for farmers and breeders, the response of stomatal behavior of crops to water stress should be well studied. In this study, a lysimeter experiment was conducted to study the relationship between gas exchange parameters and grain yields of winter wheat. Light, moderate, and severe drought levels were imposed at seedling, jointing, heading, and filling stages. The results showed that crop evapotranspiration (ETc, mm) of winter wheat during the entire growing season was limited by drought imposed at any growth stage, and ETc under severe drought treatment was always the lowest. The stomatal limitation value had a significant linear correlation with the stomatal conductance (Gs, μmol mol H2O m–2 s–1) and transpiration rate (Tr, mmol H2O m–2 s–1). Light and moderate drought levels at the seedling stage did not generate irreversible physiological stress on wheat plants, while severe drought at any growth stage caused significant reduction in gas exchange parameters and grain yields. Theoretical threshold values of leaf water use efficiency (WUEl) for light, moderate, and severe drought levels were 2.62, 3.36, and 4.11 μmol mmol–1, respectively. The threshold values are useful to provide theoretical reference for achieving smart irrigation in the North China Plain.
