Because the decline in the oil palm harvest

For trivial decline in yields oil

In agricultural science a great deal about how the treatment plant, starting from seed selection, land tenah plants, and harvesting good. in this case we are discussing palm oil, we have seen that Indonesia including the country's largest contributor to the world's CPO.

Oil palm farmers are not aware, declining crop yields occur because of this trivial matter;

A. The process of a poor harvest

Most smallholders do a bad action during the process of harvesting, leaving stalks (plepah). This action will cause the palm trees are not optimal in production, due to the healing process of the leaf stem (plepah) are still tergelantung. long-term repercussions of fruit shrinking and ultimately yields menuru oil.

The following captions:

1. The process of harvesting the stem leaves left.

Stalks that are left will slowly wither and dry. This process takes about two weeks, and during that time the process of absorption of nutrients for the production of palm fruit inhibited.

2. Stem leaves begin to dry

after two weeks of leaf stem dries, then began to look at the impact of palm trees, the fruit of an increasingly small, with thorns getting longer. then the fruit does not have a good weight.

3. Trunk dead leaves and dried

Phase three is the final stage after a poor harvest, stems and leaves die after a long dry trees absorb nutrients, adverse effects on the fruit are getting smaller and lightweight. a cause for which the oil palm yields declined.

B. harvest time is not scheduled

Oil palm is a plant that needs more attention in the harvesting process, including the time of harvest must be sustainable, and does not change. usual standard in oil palm harvesting is done one week, even do the harvest two weeks. The time depends on the criteria of the garden, if the oil palm harvesting is done once a week, then so must be done once a week, so that a sustainable harvest.

Thus this article we made.

may be useful for palm oil producers, in particular to increase knowledge for farmers.

Please share with your friends so that simple knowledge of this help, suggestions and criticism we needed to be motivation for us to develop the next article. http://greenleafind.blogspot.com to obtain information visit the world of agriculture, farm industry and agro business. thanks.
