Oil palm is the most productive oil crop per unit area and crucial to economy of developing countries such as Malaysia Indonesia. However, it also highly controversial due impact has on biodiversity. Inputs herbicides control understory vegetation in plantations are high, which likely harm native biodiversity, but may be unnecessary protecting yield. In this study we investigate effects manipulation using soil fauna, litter decomposition rates abiotic variables: pH, organic carbon, water...
Fungal disease detection in perennial crops is a major issue estate management and production. However, nowadays such diagnostics are long difficult when only made from visual symptom observation, very expensive damaging based on root or stem tissue chemical analysis. As an alternative, we propose this study to evaluate the potential of hyperspectral reflectance data help detecting efficiently without destruction tissues. This focuses calibration statistical model discrimination between...
Oil palm plantations have expanded rapidly in recent decades, and are causing substantial impacts on tropical habitats biodiversity. However, owing to its long lifespan (25-30 years), oil forms a much more varied structurally-complex habitat than many other crops. This can include abundant understory vegetation also epiphytes trunks. the diversity of this plantation has been poorly studied, there little consideration common management practices plant communities. We conducted long-term...
Conversion of tropical forest to agriculture results in reduced habitat heterogeneity, and associated declines biodiversity ecosystem functions. Management strategies increase agricultural landscapes have therefore often focused on increasing complexity; however, the large-scale, long-term ecological experiments that are needed test effects these rare systems. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.)—one most widespread important crops—offers substantial potential for developing wildlife-friendly...
Background and AimsOil palm flowering fruit production show seasonal maxima whose causes are unknown. Drought periods confound these rhythms, making it difficult to analyse or predict dynamics of production. The present work aims phenological growth responses adult oil palms inter-annual climatic variability.
For oil palm, yield variation is in large part due to the number of harvested bunches. Each successively-produced phytomer carries a female (productive), male or aborted inflorescence. Since development takes 3-4 years and nearly two phytomers are produced per month, many inflorescences develop parallel but have different phenological stages. Environment-dependent developmental rate, sex abortion probability determine bunch productivity, which, turn, affects other via source-sink...
Agriculture is expanding rapidly across the tropics. While cultivation can boost socioeconomic conditions and food security, it also threatens native ecosystems. Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis), which grown pantropically, most productive vegetable oil crop worldwide. The impacts of have been studied extensively in Southeast Asia - to a lesser extent Latin America but, comparison, very little known about its Africa: palm's range, where rapidly. In this paper, we introduce large-scale research...
Palm oil is nowadays the first vegetable consumed worldwide. Given world population growth and increasing demand in fat for food fuel, increase palm production expected to continue. It thus important find ways of reducing ecological impact plantations at both agroecosystem mill supply area levels, by improving agricultural practices land uses. This where agroecology can play a very critical role. The present article gathers short stories on agroecological currently taking place South-East...
Enhancement of light harvesting in annual crops has successfully led to yield increases since the green revolution. Such an improvement mainly been achieved by selecting plants with optimal canopy architecture for specific agronomic practices. For perennials such as oil palm, breeding programmes were focused more on fruit yield, but now aim at exploring complex traits. The present study is investigate potential improvements interception and carbon assimilation case manipulating leaf traits...
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a perennial, tropical, monocotyledonous plant characterized by simple architecture and low phenotypic plasticity, but marked long development cycles of individual phytomers (a pair one leaf inflorescence at its axil). Environmental effects on vegetative or reproductive sinks occur with various time lags depending the process affected, causing source–sink imbalances. This study investigated how two instantaneous sources carbon assimilates, CO2...
Oil palm plantations are a major agricultural land use in Southeast Asia. In the coming decades large areas of mature oil will be cleared and replanted. To inform more sustainable long-term production this globally important crop, it is crucial we understand how replanting impacts ecosystem functions services. We investigated whether several production-relevant ecosystems (dung removal, soil mesofauna feeding activity, herbivory, herbivore predation, seed predation), simultaneous delivery...
Smallholder farmers produce over 40% of global palm oil, the world’s most traded and controversial vegetable oil. Awareness effects oil production on ecosystems human communities has increased drastically in recent years, with ever louder calls for private public sector to develop programs support sustainable cultivation by smallholder farmers. To effectively influence practices ensure positive social outcomes, such schemes must consider variety perspectives align their priorities. We...
The expansion of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantations is a primary cause land-use change and biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. This has led to an increasing demand for the development more sustainable agricultural management practices plantations, such as Integrated Pest Management. Although populations carnivorous mammals show declines when forest converted palm, some species, Leopard Cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) have been found persist. They are often encouraged by plantation...
