| Abstract | This study aimed to evaluate the yield performance of five Tenera varieties during the young mature and mature phases with the objective of identifying high-yield planting materials. The assessment was conducted at Golden Tenera Limited in Krabi, Thailand, using a randomized complete block design with three replicates. The oil palm trees were spaced 9.0 meters in a triangular pattern. This study spanned from 2009 to 2023, allowing for acomprehensive analysis of yield performance over a significant time period. The findings revealed that the mature phase, spanning from 6 to 11 years after planting, exhibited higher values for fresh fruit bunch (FFB) at 260.18 kg/palm/year and average bunch weight (ABW) at 16.62 kg/bunch/ year. Conversely, the young mature phase, ranging from three to five years after planting, displayed a higher bunch number (BNO) of 25.20 bunches/palm/year. Among the 5 evaluated Tenera varieties, V4 demonstrated the highest values for FFB at 244.12 kg/palm/year and BNO at 22.90 bunches/palm/year. Furthermore, V4 consistently exhibited the highest FFB and BNO values in both young mature and mature phases. The findings of this study will improve the selection and cultivation of productive Tenera varieties, boosting their efficiency and productivity in palm oil plantations. |
