Sustainable weed management. Effective and sustainable management of weeds in oil palm cultivation -combination of various cultural, mechanical, biological, livestock grazing in integrated weed management strategies {IWM}
Volunteer plants: accidental weeds, e.g. example, rubber seedlings in an oil palm plantation or oil palm seedlings in a rubber plantation. Some species fall under more than one group and they are repeated where this happens, e.g. Nephrolepis biserrata is featured under ‘ferns and allies’, and again under ‘epiphytes’.
Jul 1, 2023 · Weeds in oil palm plantations are commonly associated with harmful ground cover species that can compete with oil palm at some level. Here, we discuss weeds from the perspective of communities impacting other taxonomic groups of agro-biodiversity in oil palm plantations.
This article attempts to give an overview of the com-bined practice of pesticide management in oil palm plantations, the types of pesticides commonly used and the method of analysis to determine pesticide residues in palm oil. A brief outline of the regulatory controls for pesticides is also included.
Currently, oil palm has become a major source of foreign exchange revenue. One of the reasons oil palm has become such an important and successful crop in Malaysia is the effectiveness of modern herbicides, specifically paraquat, in combating weeds that would have reduced oil palm productivity. As a result, the oil palm plantations are the
Here, we investigated the effectiveness of targeted grazing for weed control involving 11 Katjang crossbreed goats in a mature oil palm plantation. We assessed the animal behaviour and management aspects including weed preference, spatial use of grazing area, and body weight change.
Weeds are important in the cultivation of perennial plantation crops, especially oil palm. The tropical climate zone which receives high rainfall and good sunlight is conducive for oil palm cultivation.
