| Abstract | Eight hybrids of commercial oil palm seedlings, 4 from Thai and 4 from oversea sources, were transplanted into the experimental field in AoLuek district, Krabi province,Thailand in 2013. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) was applied with 3 replications. Sixteen palms per plot were random sampling for the agronomic traits data. Growth characteristics were collected every 6 months from 12 to 60 months after transplant (MAT) while the yield data were collected from 31 to 66 MAT, covering a span of 3 years for yield harvesting. The Thai hybrid oil palm tends to have higher production of fresh fruit bunch (FFB) compared to hybrid oil palm from other countries. Hybrids of Deli? Yangambi-T and Deli?Tanzania-T exhibited statistically significant higher vegetative traits such as petiole cross-section, rachis length, and leaflet length when compared to other varieties, The two hybrids also demonstrated significantly higher yields, with maximum FFB valuesof 194.9 and 192.9 kg/palm, respectively in the 3rd year of harvesting.The hybrid with the highest kernel content was Deli ? Tanzania-T with kernel to fruit ratio (KTF) and kernel to bunch ratio (KTB) values of 11.94% and 9.40% respectively. On the other hand, Deli? Yangambi-T showed the highest significant oil yield of 8.78 tons/ha/year at the age of 5 years after transplanting. This experiment demonstrates that certain improved hybrid oil palm varieties in Thailand have the potential for better growth, productivity, and superior components compared to imported hybrid varieties from oversea countries. |
