Programa de mejoramiento en Camerún para rendimiento de aceite y altura de palma.
Palm oil deficit is predicted in cameroon as a result of an increase in the population and increase in the demand of palm oil for food and not food (soaps) uses. Hence, Oil palm breeding aims at providing planters with high oil yielding, long economic life, and disease tolerant planting materials. From 1985 to 1995, 16 Deli dura x La Mé tenera/pisifera progenies of the second cycle of reciprocal recurrent selection were field tested in a 5x5 balance lattice with 6 replications for oil yield and height increment at La Dibamba (cameroon). Total bunch yield and its components were recorded from 4 to 9 years after planting. Bunch analyses were carried out for the estimation of palm oil yield. Height measurements allowed calculating the vertical growth rate. The trial mean oil yield in the inmature period (2.48 t/ha) and mature period (3.72 t/ha) were considered as good performances though underestimated with regards to poor fertiliser management. the analysis of variance has revealed difference among progenies for oil yield and vertical growth rate. DMRT did not clearly separate the group of means for oil and for the vertical growth rate indicating that the progenies were coles to each other. The progeny PO3577 was selected on the basis of precocity, oil yield (4.56 t/ha), and low vertical growth rate (46 cm/yr). This progeny should be reproduced in the commercial seed production programme.
