Influence of soil series and soil depth on vegetative growth and early ffb production of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)

Non-destructive method of vegetative measurements is applied to study the growth rate of commercial d x p (tenera) palms. Soils depth (thickness of topsoil) and soil series have striking influence on palm growth and early yield. A general knowledge of early growth of palms planted in different soil series would be useful in estimating yield performance and timing of certain field operations on oil palm plantations. Data on vegetative measurements and yield recording from monitor blocks established on various soil series would improve the precision of estimating yield potential and are probably useful as an aid in determining fertilizer requirements for particular areas
