This research was carried out at UPT Experimental Gardens, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Riau, from February 2021 to Apr…
ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the influence and interaction of regulating the number of fronds and applying potassium fertilizers to the components of oil palm crop production. This study was carried out experimentally using a randomized design of factorial groups. The first factor is the number of fronds with 3 levels (56, 50, and 44 fronds per plant). The second factor is potash …
ABSTRACT Phytophthora palmivora is one of the important diseases that cause cacao pod rot disease. This disease can cause production loss up to 90%. P. palmivora control is often carried out using chemical fungicides which often results in the emergence of new problems and environmental pollution, so an environmentally friendly control is needed. This study reported the inhibitory ability of B…
ABSTRACT Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is one of the most important plantation commodities in Indonesia's agricultural sector. Palm oil production Riau in 2019 reached 8,864,883 tons, while CPO production in 2020 reached 9.7 million tons. Riau Province in crops producing independent pattern plantations is still low compared to private plantations. One of the technical culture efforts carri…
