In this study, nutritional disease classification of Elaeis Guineensis or widely known as oil palm is discussed. At present, nitrogen, potassium, magnesium are the main category nutrition deficient prevalent in oil palm plantation and these deficiencies can be identified based on the affected leaves surface appearance. Hence in this work, an alternative method based on image processing techniqu...

A study on the leaching of chlorpyrifos in an oil palm agro ecosystem was conducted in an oil palm plantation in Sepang, Selangor. The insecticide chlorpyrifos was sprayed using a knapsack sprayer at the recommended and double the recommended dosage. Soil samples were collected at different depths, viz. 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm, 30-40 cm and 40-50 cm at the following intervals: -1 day (befor...

This research aims to develop solid waste produced by oil palm plantation processing in the form of mesocarp fiber. Utilization which is usually only as boiler fuel a Palm Oil Mill. fiber reduce waste, has large heating value, and selling value. In process making briquettes, raw materials are provided, drying, charcoal (carbonization), filtering, forming 100 gr with 150 ml, 200 300 ml water sol...

Progressive pruning an method which done at same time as harvesting. This study evaluated impact progressive on miner population how these two factors (leaf pruning) affect yield Benso Oil Palm Plantation...

The plantation sector is the economy's backbone and state's foundation. contributed IDR 429 trillion to national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2016. Oil palm, as main product Indonesia, has a high economic value compared other products one of primary sources country's foreign exchange. increase local demand factors influencing production palm oil.

We hypothesized that supplementing finishing diets with palm oil would promote adipocyte differentiation in subcutaneous adipose tissue of feedlot steers, and that soybean oil supplementation would depress adipocyte differentiation. Twenty-eight Angus steers were assigned randomly to 3 groups of 9 or 10 steers and fed a basal diet without additional fat (control), with 3% palm oil (rich in palm...

Diet for some time now in Nigeria has undergone many changes such as changes in dietary intake of fats and oils. There has been an increasing consumption of partially hydrogenated trans-vegetable oils and a decreasing intake of lauric acid-containing oils. Although popular literature and people generally, usually attribute an increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) to elevated levels of ...

A nutritional evaluation of refined, bleached and deodorised (RBD) palm oil and its fractionation products, RBD palm olein and RBD palm stearin in terms of their digestibility, rate of absorption and food efficiency in rats, shows that RBD palm olein is a better oil by these criteria than RBD palm stearin and the unfractionated RBD palm oil. Nevertheless, the nutritional indices reported for RB...
