Objectives :	To investigate whether fertilizer inputs could be reduced if the newly planted palms are mulched with the palm chip produced by the EnviroMulcher.

Code :	TEM/FFB Forecast 2002-1
Title :	Oil palm yield forecasting
Objectives :	To develop a practical method of forecasting monthly ffb yields for the estates based on a modified Ulu Bernam system.

Code :	TEM/FertMap2002-1
Title :	Precision agriculture-To develop a method to produce as appiled map(fertilizer)
Objectives :	To produce as appiled maps(fertilizer) to assist the Estate Managers to monitor the application of fertilizer in the field closely and accurately.

Code :	EFB 2002-1
Title :	Utilisation of palm wastes and by-products-To develop a system to utilize EFB more efficiently in the estate
Objectives :	To make full use of the EFB produced in the palm oil mills for mulching mature palm fields to reduce mineral fertilizer application and also to improve growth and yield of the palm plantings in marginal or poor growing conditions.
