Abstract

In mature oil palms, rat attacks fruit bunches, causing significantly reduction in the potential yield and the quality of oil palm fruit bunches. Rat is also known to consume the post anthesis male flowers which act as the breeding sites for the eggs and larvae of Elaeidobius kamerunicus pollinator beetle. Indirectly, the pollinator beetle population can be reduced in high rat infestation area, affecting the pollination and increasing the percentage of parthenocarpic fruit bunches. The barn owl (Tyto alba var. javanica) is a rat biological control agent in the oil palm plantations. The study conducted at PT. Mustika Sembuluh in Central Borneo shows that barn owl (T. alba) population is significantly correlated with both rat attacks and parthenocarpic percentage of oil palm fruit bunches in oil palm plantation

Abstract

Ketersediaan air merupakan aspek yang sangat penting agar kelapa sawit dapat tumbuh dan berproduksi secara optimal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis perilaku air melalui monitoring dinamika kelembaban dan suhu tanah menggunakan Soil Moisture Content Monitoring System (SMCMS). SMCMS terdiri atas sensor yang dipasang di lapangan dan sistem monitoring berbasis internet. SMCMS dipasang di perkebunan kelapa sawit pada tanah Ultisol (A), Spodosol dengan perlakuan pecah hardpan dan mounding (B), dan Spodosol tanpa perlakuan (C). Sensor kelembaban dan suhu tanah dipasang pada tiga kedalaman yang berbeda. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa SMCMS dapat beroperasi secara otomatis dan real-time dalam mengukur perilaku air. Berdasarkan hasil monitoring dan pengukuran, dapat diketahui bahwa kelembaban tanah tertinggi terdapat pada lokasi A dengan rerata 46,91%, kemudian diikuti lokasi B 38,40%, dan C yaitu 29,49%. Spodosol dengan perlakuan (B) memiliki suhu tanah terendah dengan rerata 27,36°C, kemudian diikuti Ultisol (A) 27,58°C, dan Spodosol kontrol (C) 28,40°C. Lebih lanjut, kelembaban tanah berkorelasi lemah dengan suhu tanah. Suhu tanah memiliki korelasi yang lemah dengan suhu udara. Sementara itu, kedua perilaku air tanah tersebut memiliki korelasi yang sangat lemah dengan variabel lingkungan, khususnya curah hujan.

Abstract

A hand-held spectrometer can be used to evaluate oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) leaf nutrient contents without being destructive. This study aims to develop regression equations and analyze the performance of the prediction models for Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium leaf nutrient contents. The dependent variable in this study was the result of the analysis of nutrient contents in frond number 17 which was carried out in the laboratory, while the independent variable was the leaf reflectance value scanned with a hand-held spectrometer. The Normalized Difference approach is used to create a vegetation index from the combination of reflectance values at two wavelengths. Vegetation index with the highest correlation value to the nutrient content of leaves, is used to make a prediction model for leaf nutrients using the Simple Linear Regression. The regression equations formed to predict the contents of nutrients N, P, and K have high R2. The RMSE values of the predicted contents of N, P, and K nutrients, respectively were 0.21, 0.01, and 0.13; and correctness values of those nutrients respectively were 93.29%, 95.5%, and 88.81%. Keywords:  Hand-held spectrometer,  Oil palm,  Prediction,  Leaf nutrients contents.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a prediction model for the nutrient content of N, P, K, Mg, and Ca in oil palm leaves using the Normalized Difference RedEdge (NDRE) vegetation index derived from multispectral camera data. Data acquisition was carried out by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which was correlated to leaf sample analysis of the 17th frond number. Results showed that simple regression analysis successfully represented nutrient content (N, P, K, Mg, and Ca) based on NDRE values. Based on the MAPE and Correctness values, the nutrient content prediction model for N and P yields reliable results, while for K, Mg, and Ca, they are considered good, with Correctness values of 95.5%, 96.6%, 88.8%, 87.3%, and 90.0% for N, P, K, Mg, and Ca, respectively. The study found that the NDRE vegetation index can be used to predict the nutrient content of oil palm leaves with  reliable results in accuracy for N and P, and good accuracy for K, Mg, and Ca. This is a promising finding, as it could lead to the development of a non-destructive and rapid method for monitoring the nutrient status of oil palm trees, with the validation models for N, P, K, Mg, and Ca are yN = 1.1089x - 0.2497, yP = 0.99x + 0.002, yK = 1.204x - 0.1576, yMg = 0.9149x + 0.0183, and yCa = 1.0418x - 0.0218. Keywords: Multispectral Cameras, Oil Palm, Leaf Nutrient Contents, Prediction.

Abstract

Spodosols have been widely used for oil palm plantations, specifically in Kalimantan, Indonesia. However, they are sub-optimal for agriculture due to a lack of water and nutrient-holding capacity and a spodic layer that limits plant root development. Therefore, proper agriculture practices are needed for oil palm to enhance its potential yield. This study aims to determine the effect of the mounding technique on the physiological performance and yield of oil palms in spodosol. The study location was well-managed, with eight blocks of oil palm plantations planted in 2008 on spodosols (Typic Haplohumod) in Central Kalimantan. The mounding technique was applied to four blocks of oil palm planted in 2015, while the remaining four were left without mounding. The parameters observed were soil moisture, transpiration, number of bunches, bunch weight, and yield. The results showed that the average moisture in the mounded soil was 4% greater than the control.  Additionally, the average daily transpiration of oil palm with the mounding was up to 2.30 mm day-1 or three times higher than the control.  The implication was that the average yield of oil palm increased from approximately 1.84 to 3.71 tons ha-1 year-1 compared to no-mounding treatments. Furthermore, the average yield was 19-66% higher than the block without the mounding application.

Abstract

The same rainfall can cause different degrees of water stress depending on soil type, so the production response shown by plants can be different. This study is essential for growers, especially in predicting oil palm production based on water deficit for each soil type. The study was conducted on oil palm plantations in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, with four soil types in 1,446.15 ha (40 blocks). The source of data collected from oil palm plantations included bunch number, average bunch weight, rainfall, and soil physical and chemical properties for the last 15 years (2007 - 2021). This experimental study used a two-stage cluster sampling method. The results showed that the best productivity, bunch number, and average bunch weight were found on Ultisols. The four soil types tested showed the same annual production distribution dynamic, but the response rate from each soil type showed differences. Entisols and Spodosols were more prone to drought stress due to water deficit than Ultisols and Histosols because of the differences in soil texture. Water deficit causes a decrease in oil palm productivity by 5 - 22% in the first year (Ultisols 12 - 22%; Entisols 12 - 22%; Spodosols 7 - 19%;  Histosols 5 - 15%) and 1 - 8% in the second year (Ultisols 3 - 7%; Entisols 2 - 4%; Spodosols 5 - 8%; Histosols 1 - 5%) compared to previous years production. A decrease in oil palm productivity occurs at 3 - 5 months (bunch failure phase), 1 year (abortion sensitive phase), and 2 - 2.5 years (sex differentiation phase) after a water deficit appears.
