OIL PALM BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR YIELD INTENSIFICATION
This book represents a culmination of the past 10 years of research and practical experience we have gained on refining Best Management Practices (BMPs) and developing a process to deploy them successfully in order to improve yields in Southeast Asia. It outlines the need, causes, and characteristics of yields and then discusses the implementation of BMPs. It concludes with a review of case studies and pilot programs showing how BMPs were implemented and the achieved results with accompanying statistical analysis. It has been demonstrated that improving yields is profitable and that yield intensification is necessary to reduce area expansion. This publication represents the “state of the art” on how to manage mature oil palm plantations and supports the principles and criteria of the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). It’s a practical textbook documenting how to implement the right BMPs that can increase yields and production in ways that are profitable to plantations and sustainable environmental stewardship.
