| dc.description.abstract | Seeds of the oil palm hybrid tenera is being imported for commercial planting in India. However, recent investigations show that suitable mother palms (dura) and the pollen parent (pisifera) are available in the country. In a tenera x tenera plantation, 11 fertile and 11 sterilepisifera palms were identified. Filfy-nine dura palms yielding above 100 kg fresh fruit bunches annually per palm have also been located. Preliminary results on tenera produced by using these dura mother palms are encouraging. Feasibility of indigenous production of genetically superior tenera hybrids is discussed. | en_US |
