Karakterisasi Organ Vegetatif Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) Di Umur 20 Tahun Pada Berbagai Ketinggian Tempat Di Atas Permukaan Laut
ABSTRACT
Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) is an important commodity for the
national economy through the production of edible oil, industrial oil, and
biodiesel. Increasing global demand drives the expansion of planting areas to
diverse topographic areas, including highlands. 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.
