To date, an estimated one-half billion native have been destroyed by southeastern United States, loss and diverse taxa Everglades. In US state Florida, laurel has spread rapidly throughout South Florida avocado production area. Since its arrival 2011, LW responsible for death about 7000 or 1% Given destructive nature this disease, there are...
Cultivars from crossings between Elaeis oleífera x guineensis (OxG hybrids) have proven to partial resistance Bud Rot (BR), the most challenging disease for Colombian palm oil agroindustry. Therefore, OxG hybrids were planted in areas that experienced BR outbreaks since 2007. Soon, it was discovered hybrid female inflorescences required be pollinated with pollen E. improve bunch formation. Researchers Cenipalma noted bunches a greater proportion of partenocarpic fruits. The latter generated...
The harvest of oil palm fruit bunches represents 25% the total cost production one metric ton fresh (FFB), and nine-tenths costs this process (i.e., harvest) are labor costs. This study was undertaken to analyze compare productivity harvesting young trees species Elaeis oleifera x E. guineensis (OxG) using two different cutting tools. first tool a chisel, second mechanized cutter. From methodological perspective, we conducted time motion study. results show that average number palms...

Colombia's rural sector has the potential to mitigate poverty and contribute econo- mic development process. For this, its contri- bution must consider environmental, social economic variables. Environmentally, conception of agriculture as a depredatory acti- vity is now behind given way an that takes into account needs future generations. Socially, we view popula- tions in terms political stability, need redistribute resources starting point for process balanced development. Economi- cally,...
Adopting technology regarding agricultural crops has traditionally been associated with high costs. Producers have thus often abstained from adopting better agronomical practices and consequently lost the benefits they could otherwise obtained by implementing criteria for managing their crops.This research builds on results Ruiz et al., (2017) who found three typologies of oil palm lots, adoption yields Colombia. This work was aimed at evaluating al. an economic standpoint using different...
This study builds on the results from a previous (Ruiz, 2017), aimed to identify and quantify yield gaps in sample of lots small medium scale producers, all suppliers same mill. The technical staff mill provides assistance aforementioned growers. was at identifying what technological factors are associated with such gaps. Regarding methodological approach, first, it used technology balance index (TBI) order adoption. TBI allows for rating adoption oil palm crops by considering five processes...
A total of 70 000 hectares have been dedicated to the cultivation interspecific hybrid O × G in Colombia as 2020. There was a need introduce what is known “assisted pollination” for these crops. In 2018, Colombian Oil Palm Research Center (Cenipalma) released artificial pollination, which consists applying naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) complement assisted with goal promoting formation oil parthenocarpic fruits. Given recent introduction research study proposed objective analyzing cost-benefit...
Abstract This article develops a forestry model to obtain the optimal control strategy and rotation length after disease attacks in perennial variety. Three cases are considered: benchmark consisting of disease‐free field, an identical field with present but no resistant variety which replant, replant. We determine general decision rules then apply case Pudrición del Cogollo, major threat Colombian oil palm industry. In application, we compare between three scenarios level each period for...
Oil palm interspecific hybrids Elaeis oleífera × guineensis (O G) are grown across approximately 68,000 hectares in Colombia. To address the limited natural pollination capacity of O G and difficulties associated with assisted regarding timing E. pollen application, Colombian Palm Research Center (Cenipalma) conducted studies on induction parthenocarpic fruits. Cenipalma confirmed that application 1,200 ppm 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) at different phenological stages enabled formation...
