Harvesting Criteria for High-Oleic Crops in Tumaco

A study to establish harvesting criteria for high-oleic oil palm in Tumaco was conducted because of the lack of experiences with this planting material under conditions similar to those in that region. This article presents the results of fruit set analysis in multiple well-pollinated bunches for measuring oil content, bunch moisture content and free fatty acid (ffa) content, as well as results obtained in the field from the number of cracked and loose fruits and color of fruits. Finally, it describes the harvesting criteria established for Palmeiras Colombia SA plantations during dry and rainy seasons.
