Irrigation is considered as one of the most critical inputs for realizing higher yields of oil palm, as water deficits not only leads to reduced growth but also affects yields. As oil palm is grown in India under irrigated conditions, accurate irrigation scheduling based on physiological indicators is very much essential for improving water use eff...

... In Benin, Ochs and Daniel (1976) observed that oil to mesocarp tend to get decreased in bunches harvested two months after the period of greatest moisture deficit. Moisture percentage in fruitlets ranged from 30.2 to 43.9 % and highest moisture content was found in Deli x Nigeria hybrid and lowest in Deli x Ghana (Table 2), which confirm to the findings of Suresh et al. (2013) in another study. An inverse relationship was observed between oil content and moisture content among hybrids. ...
... Sin embargo, la capacidad de fijación de carbono por el cultivo está influenciada por el ambiente donde desarrolla y su rendimiento está relacionado con la planta, el suelo y el clima (Brazilio et al., 2012). Se espera que en un ambiente sin limitaciones de recursos se incremente su crecimiento, al considerar que la fijación del carbono es el proceso acumulativo de la fotosíntesis que convierte los carbohidratos en biomasa de la planta (Kumar et al., 2017). En palma de aceite se consignan diversos valores de fijación de carbono (Germer & Sauerborn 2008;Foong-Kheong et al., 2010;Chase & Henson 2010) y en general, el rendimiento se asocia al suelo donde crece, aun cuando tiene amplia adaptación a diversos tipos de suelo, pero la deficiencia nutrimental induce disminución del crecimiento (Corley et al., 1971), influenciada, además, por variaciones en las estructuras del mismo, como sucede en suelos someros donde el enraizamiento es superficial (Emilio et al., 2013), o bien, en suelos de baja fertilidad donde se requiere la aplicación de fertilizantes químicos sintéticos para potenciar los rendimientos. ...
