oil palm natural diversity and the potential for semantic scholar in Ghana

An oil palm germplasm prospection mission was carried out by the OPRI in 2003 to collect natural dura oil palms in seven regions of Ghana for evaluation and utilization of the potential elite

In this work, a method was developed that combined the Synthetic Aperture Radar (Sentinel-1) and optical satellite imagery (Sentinel-2) data to accurately map natural forest and perennial

The aim of this review is to acquaint the reader with natural diversity of oil palm species and how it can be used to increase productivity of the future oil palm plantations.

To access genetic diversity and strategize germplasm conservation for posterity, a total of 478 oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) accessions from 11 origins in Africa were analysed via

Oil palm is a perennial, evergreen tree adapted to cultivation in biodiversity rich equatorial land areas. The growing demand for the palm oil threatens the future of the rain forests and has a large negative impact on

This work explores the opportunities and obstacles to sustainable palm oil production in Ghana, and surveys the role that independent smallholders could hold through Roundtable on

Introduction Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is one of major economic crops in Ghana after Cocoa. Oil palm is a crop that provides multiple outputs and it is the only plant whose fruit produces

Mapping the Oil Palm Value Chain in Ghana Executive Summary As per SoW of the consultant and based on both secondary literature and direct field observations and interviews, this report

Ghana produces about 2,000,000 tonnes of oil palm fruits annually, and artisanal processors contribute about 60-80% of crude palm oil production. The country is not self-sufficient in the

Ghana produces about 2,000,000 tonnes of oil palm fruits annually, and artisanal processors contribute about 60-80% of crude palm oil production. The country is not self-sufficient in the

These inefficiencies can cause environmental damage and increase production costs. Based on these problems, it is necessary to optimize the role of biodiversity to increase oil palm

Water supply is the main yield-limiting factor of oil palm crops. A water deficit affects virtually all aspects of metabolism and plant structure, while a water excess leads to waterlogging, an

Genetic variability and relationship of 29 germplasm accessions of two species, viz. Elaeis guineensis Jacq (25 accessions) and Elaeis oleifera (4 accessions) along with two Palode

The potential ability of markers to assist in oil palm breeding through examination of the genetic structure of crossing programmes is discussed, as is their value in parental selection to

It is hypothesized that biological diversity is lower in plantations and that plantations support a larger proportion of disturbance-tolerant species than forest, and that with a number of
