Features of supergene:
• 50% shorter height
• dwarf palm: 25cm - 35cm as against 60cm normal growth
• early harvest (22 - 24 months) compared with 36 - 48 months for older varieties.
• significant higher yield for up to 30 years lifespan.
• lifespan average ffb of 44 tonnes.
• higher oil to bunch extration ratio: 26% - 28% equivalent to 11.02 - 12.5 tonnes cpo per hectare per year.
• dwarf palm: annual growth rate of 25cm - 35cm
• shorter tree: easy to reach speeds up harvesting which ultimately reduces harvesting cost.
• tree diameter and circumference is bigger: supports more brances and more fruits, reduces gravity effect and allowing easy transfer of nutirents from the soil to fruits, allows the tree to thrive better in dry season.
• more disease resistant
• more than 25% bigger seed, thinner shell and small kernel.
