Abstract

Fruit Set Percentage And Oil Palm Production In Smallholder Plantations In Sungai Kunyit Village, Sekadau Hilir Sub-District,Sekadau District. Cultivation practices such as fertilization, pruning, pest and disease control, and pollination influence oil palm productivity among smallholder farmers and companies. This study aims to analyze the fruit set percentage and oil palm production in Dusun Amak, Sungai Kunyit Village, Sekadau Hilir Sub-district, and to identify the influence of pollinating insect populations and the percentage of male flowers on fruit set. The study was conducted in smallholder oil palm plantations using surveys and interviews. The survey included tree census, fruit and bunch sampling, pest and disease observation, pollinator insect counts, and average bunch weight measurements. We conducted unstructured interviews with farmers to supplement the data. The results showed a fruit set percentage of 67.87%, lower than the optimal potential of 80% for 10-year-old oil palm trees. Although male flowers were sufficient, the low population of pollinating insects (Elaeidobius kamerunicus) led to suboptimal pollination, resulting in a lower fruit set.
