Features of High-Yield Supergene Oil-Palm Seedlings
- Earlier harvest (18 – 24months), compared to 36 – 48 months of SIRM standard seedling.
- The first-year harvest can be up to 7 to 8 tons FFB per hectare.
-The lifespan is 25 years.
This variety is resistant to diseases like genoderma and basal stem rot virus.
Higher oil-to-bunch ratio, more than 25% bigger seed, thinner shell, and smaller kernel.
- Longer tree lifecycle, 30 years of fruit-bearing, therefore the income period is longer. Although fertilizer application is advised.
More female flowers, the ratio is 2 times higher than the normal species.
Shorter tree, easy to reach, subsequently, the harvesting cost is reduced.
- Tree diameter and circumference is bigger, supports more branch and fruits, reduction of gravity effect allows easy transfer of nutrients from the soil to fruit.
