ताजे खजूर फल गुच्‍छों के अधि‍क उत्पादन हेतु, तेल खजूर (आयल पॉम) में सर्वोत्तम उर्वरक प्रबंधन वि‍धि‍यॉं। Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is the highest edible oil yielding perennial crop producing two types of oil i.e. crude palm oil and palm kernel oil which are used for domestic and industrial purposes. It produces about 4 to 6 tonnes of crude palm oil and 0.4 to 0.6 tonnes of palm kernel oil per hectare per year during its productive life span from 4th to 30th years. Oil Palm is a heavy feeder and it requires a balanced and adequate supply of macro and micro-nutrients for growth and yield. Fertilizer requirement of Palm Recommended nutrient...

तेल पाम वृक्षारोपण में मिट्टी के नमूने एकत्र करने के लिए सटीक विधि Oil palm is a heavy feeder of nutrients as it produces a very high biomass. Input management plays a major role in plantation crops as the crop remains in the field for a longer period of time. In oil palm plantations fertilizer management proved to play a major role in defining yield potential in terms of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB). Soil analysis is an effective method to determine plant nutritional status for suitable fertilizer application.  This includes the collection of representative sample from the soil, estimation of nutrient status and other parameters, calibration and interpretation of analytical results...

तेल पाम में परागण करने वाला एक घुन या कीट- भुजा एलाइडोबियस कामरुनिकस (फ़ॉस्ट) Oil palm, Elaeis guineensis Jacq. is a monoecious plant which means it bears male and female inflorescences, separated from one another on the same vegetative axis. This particular situation demands cross pollination, as both the inflorescences of the same plant are seldom simultaneously receptive. Pollination in oil palm is primarily by various means viz., wind and insects. Several species of insects are reported as natural pollinating agents, of which Elaeidobius kamerunicus is the predominant species. Introduction of this weevil increased fruit set from 36.9 to 56.0% resulting in 40% increase in bunch weight. Knowing about various aspects...

बीज गार्डन के माध्यम से ऑयल पाम की गुणवत्ता वाली रोपण सामग्री Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) cultivation has been expanded rapidly in recent years and is now second only to soybean as a major source of the world supply of oils and fats. It is the highest edible oil yielding crop yielding up to 5-6 tonnes of mesocarp oil (Crude Palm Oil, CPO) and 0.4 to 0.6 MT of palm kernel oil (PKO) per ha per year which is much higher (5-8 times) than that of any major oil producing crop. This crop offers viable solution for the ever increasing shortage of vegetable oils in the country and in saving valuable...

वि‍कसि‍त तेल ताड़ के बगीचों में अंतर फसली के लिए गुंज़ाइश Oil palm, the highest vegetable oil yielding crop, is grown in an area of 2.08 lakh ha in India. Basic resources like soil, solar radiation and aerial environment are not being fully utilized in pure crop of oil palm. In view of unstable price structure, higher cost of cultivation, coconut based cropping systems and economic status, farmers are looking for some alternate cropping in oil palm gardens. Often, inter cropping is chosen as an insurance against the risk of main crop failure/ low price or at least to ensure the stability of crop yields in variable environments. Inter cropping enhances productivity...
