The Oü Palm
FOURTH
EDITION
R. H. V.
Corky
and P B.
Tinker
The oil palm is the world s most valuable oil crop. With palm oil production increasing by
more than
50%
in the last decade of the twentieth century and set to double in the next
twenty years, it has never before been so important to understand the history, use and
cultivation of this fascinating crop.
There have been many new developments since the third edition of Hardey s The Oil Palm in
1988,
particularly in the fields of clonal propagation, agronomy, breeding and molecular
genetics. This new edition has been completely rewritten, and is the first book to record and
explore these and many other developments.
The book traces the origins and progress of the industry, and describes the basic science
underlying the physiology, breeding and nutrition of the oil palm. It covers both cutting-edge
research, and wider issues such as genetic modification of the crop, the promise of clonal
propagation, and the effects of palm oil on human health. The practical problems of
maximising yield of oil and kernels are discussed in relation to the present yield gap and oil
extraction rate decline in Malaysia. The oil palm is also compared to the soya bean and other
oil crops, and the recent history of the price of oil palm products is considered in the light of
this.
The fourth edition includes:
«
Comprehensive coverage of the most up-to-date oil palm research, with explanatory
material for the non-specialist in areas such as biotechnology, nutrient uptake and palm
oil end-use
•
Practical advice for those in the industry, including details on how to improve site
selection, cultivation, production, nutrition, selection and breeding, and pest and
disease management
β
There are numerous illustrations, a large full-colour section, and a very comprehensive
and up-to-date list of references
The Oil Palm makes an essential contribution to oil palm research and will be an
indispensable reference and guide for agricultural students, researchers and all those
working, worldwide, in the oil palm industry.
