Analysis of oil palm leaf phyllotaxis towards development of models to determine the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) maturity stages, yield and site-specific harvesting
In order to ensure the optimum quality of palm oil, oil palm fruit needs to be harvested at the optimum maturity to avoid free fatty acid (FFA) accumulation. The high content of FFA not only reduces the quality of palm oil but also increases the refining cost. Optimum maturity based on plantation st...
