Resumen
Descripción
Oil palms are generally replanted after 25-30 years for economic reasons. Replanting involves considerable hidden costs from the offset of profits had the area remained in production over the long immature period as well as the actual cost incurred in replanting operations. Despite agronomic advances in reducing the immature period, the non-productive period is still too long with conventional clean clear techniques. Alternative methods of replanting oil palms, with emphasis on improved economic returns and minimal impact on the environment, are described. Updated results from a series of trials on underplanting and advanced planting materials (18-20 months old, as opposed to the conventional 10-14 months old) are presented to illustrate the benefits of these methods over the conventional clean clear techniques.
