Northern and Southern Luzon and some drier
areas of North Cotabato are potential areas for
oil palm production due to the abundance of
sunshine throughout the year.
Moreover, there are well developed
irrigation systems and huge rivers and several
small rivers and creeks that can be tapped for
the development of irrigation systems that
could sustain oil palm production in these
areas
However, there is still a need to
verify
through
research
the
feasibility of venturing on oil palm
production in these areas, especially
that there are no scientific data yet
on the performance of oil palm in
these areas
Objectives
1. To generate scientific data on the
growth and yield of oil palm in Northern
and Southern Luzon and in drier areas of
North Cotabato;
2. To compare the productivity of oil palm
in North Cotabato and Northern and
Southern Luzon
Objectives : Contd…
3. To document the pest and diseases problems of
oil palm in the different experimental sites;
4. To document and describe the damages
caused by typhoons in oil palm at various ages
of development from 1st year to 4th year after
planting.
