weed management practices in oil palm, the use of chemical herbicides by producers and the toxicological characteristics and fate of herbicides commonly used in oil palm production.
desired ground vegetation is vitally important to keep the palms free from weed competition, improve palm growth and oil palm yield facilitating uninterrupted access and evade soil erosion including in providing conducive ecosystem for beneficial parasitoids and predators to thrive to keep in check
