Best Management Practice for Maximum Economic Yield in All Growth Stages of Oil Palm

IPNI-2010-SEAP-4

There are substantial opportunities to increase yield and profitability on existing land through implementation of Best Management Practice (BMP) in oil palm estates. However, plantations are challenged with the identification and implementation of suitable BMP that would promise greatest financial gain. The IPNI Southeast Asia Program (IPNI SEAP, http://seap. ipni. Read more

Interpretive Summary

The objective of this project is to implement, test, and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification in order to increase productivity, profitability, and sustainability of palm oil production in all growth stages of oil palm including nursery, immature, and mature development phases of the crop. This project is implemented between 2011 and 2019, and may even be extended until 2021 if monitoring requires it.

The current project was initiated to implement, test and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification and to increase productivity, profitability, and sustainability of palm oil production.

The objective of this study is to implement, test and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification in order to increase productivity, profitability and sustainability of palm oil production in all growth stages, including nursery, immature and mature development phases of the crop. This project is implemented between 2011 and 2019, and may even be extended until 2021 if monitoring requires it.

Implemented to run between 2011 and 2018, the objectives of this on-going project are to implement, test and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification in oil palm to increase productivity, profitability and sustainability in all growth stages, including nursery, immature and mature development phases.

This project was initiated in 2011 with the objectives to implement, test and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification in order to increase productivity, profitability and sustainability of palm oil production in all growth stages including nursery, immature and mature development phases of the crop.

This research project was planned to implement, test, and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification of oil palm crop. The objective was to increase productivity, profitability and sustainability of palm oil production in all growth stages (including nursery, immature, and mature development phases) of the crop.

This project was started in 2011 and will continue until 2018 with an objective to implement, test, and refine the Best Management Practice (BMP) concept for yield intensification in order to increase productivity, profitability, and sustainability of palm oil production in all growth stages of oil palm including nursery, immature and mature development phases of the crop.
