The palm vein is one of the most reliable physiological characteristics that can be used to distinguish between individuals. Palm vein technology works by identifying the vein patterns in an individual's palm. The key techniques of palm vein recognition can systematically described in five parts extracting region of interest (ROI), preprocessing to image, extracting palm vein pattern, extractin...

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...

Salinity is one of the most abiotic stress destructive factors which limit growth and production of date palm offshoots considerably. In order to investigate the effects of antioxidant compounds on growth parameters as indicters to salt tolerance at the date palm offshoots cultivars of Kabkab (female) and Ghannami ahmer (male). Experiment was conducted with seven treatments and four replication...

Oil palm is one of the most economically valuable oil seed plants, but the expansion of plantations has been limited by availability of seedlings, as the conventional propagation is through seeds, which have low germination rates. One possible solution for the large-scale production is the use of somatic embryogenesis. The aim of this study was evaluate the effects auxins 2,4-D and picloram on ...

Salinity is generally investigated as a stress factor for growth, but not utilized for improving or increasing growth and development of in vitro plants. Salinity tolerated plants may generally resist or need low level of saline for their growth and development. These plants such as date palm can be growth promoted by incubating in low salinity level medium. This research investigated the level...

The high isoprene emission capacity of palm species can decrease regional air quality and enhance the greenhouse effect when land is converted to plantations. Propagation low-emitting individuals be a strategy for reducing from palms. However, identification requires large-scale sampling. Thus, we aimed develop rapid method in which rate leaf segments observed. We examined temperature response ...

Transesterification of palm olein with glycerol can increase the functionality by introducing additional hydroxyl groups to the triglyceride structure, an advantage compared to using palm olein directly as feedstock for producing palm-based polyol. The objective of this study was to synthesize transesterified palm olein-based polyol via a three-step reaction: (1) transesterification of palm ole...

The expansion of oil palm cultivation in Indonesia has been driven by a strong world demand for food especially fats and oils. Commencing in the island of Sumatra, it spread out to other island like Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Irian but not to the island of Bali which was already well developed. The role of palm oil in developing remote inland regions and improving the standard of living of rural ...
