Karakterisasi Organ Vegetatif Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) Umur 8 Tahun Pada Berbagai Ketinggian Tempat
ABSTRACT
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is a major commodity producing vegetable oil that plays a significant role in supporting Indonesia's economic development. This research was conducted to find solutions to the problem of expanding oil palm plantations into areas with varying altitudes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the vegetative organs of oil palm at different elevations. This study examines the development of oil palm vegetative organs at three altitudes: 0–100 masl (K I), 101–500 masl (K II), and >500 masl (K III), using survey and field observation methods. The parameters observed include the number and length of fronds, the number and length of leaflets, leaf thickness, plant height, and stem circumference. Analysis using an Independent sample t-test showed significant differences in frond length, number of leaflets, and leaflet length, with K (I) producing the highest measurements. However, in leaf thickness, plant height, and stem circumference, K (III) was superior to K (I) and K (II). The implementation of adaptive agronomic management is recommended to overcome environmental stress and maintain productivity.
