Abstract
A study to establish harvesting criteria for high-oleic oil palm in Tumaco was conducted because of the lack of experiences with this planting material under conditions similar to those in that region. This article presents the results of fruit set analysis in multiple well-pollinated bunches for measuring oil content, bunch moisture content and free fatty acid (ffa) content, as well as results obtained in the field from the number of cracked and loose fruits and color of fruits. Finally, it describes the harvesting criteria established for Palmeiras Colombia SA plantations during dry and rainy seasons. Se hizo un estudio para establecer un criterio de cosecha para la palma de aceite alto oleico en Tumaco, debido a que no existían experiencias de siembra de ese material en condiciones similares a las de la región. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de los análisis de racimo y de fruit set de múltiples racimos bien polinizados para medir contenido de aceite, humedad en racimo y contenido de ácidos grasos libres (agl) y de los obtenidos en el campo a partir de la cantidad de frutos rajados, frutos desgranados y color. Finalmente, se describe el criterio de cosecha establecido en las fincas de Palmeiras Colombia S.A. para épocas de invierno y de verano.
