| dc.description.abstract | Twenty eight Pisifera palms were identified from tenera x tenera population. These palms were critically studied for morphological features and individual fruit characters. The percentage of fruits containing kernel and embryo (fertile), those with kernel or mesocarp alone and fruits with half filled kernel or having cavity alone varied highly from palm to palm. Fertility status of Pisifera is known to influence the yield potential of Tenera hybrids (dura x pisifera) which is the only planting material used for commercial cultivation of oil palm. The significance of characterising Pisifera palms for selection as pollen parent for the production of good quality oil palm hybrids is discussed. | en_US |
