Research and Development Projects: Oil Palm Breeding – OS2-3/01

Code :
OS2-3/01
Title :
Ortet Selection
Objectives :
To select ortets of high yields and desirable traits from commercial DxP fields for cloning in the oil palm tissue culture programme.

Research and Development Projects: Oil Palm Breeding – BT6-12

Code :
BT6-12
Title :
Progeny Test Programme-Tenera(T)
Objectives :
1) To progeny-test elite AAR duras and pisifera progenies for selection of superior progeny-tested parents for seed and clonal seed production.
2) To progeny-test AAR second generation Dy.AVROS pisifera and duras.
3) To identify T selfed progenies from DxT progeny-test as source of superior pisifera for hybrid seed production besides further breeding.
4) To identify outcrossed/recombinants duras and tenera parents which combine well for hybrid seed production.
5) To conduct comparative trial of commercial DxP materials from various sources.

Research and Development Projects: Oil Palm Breeding – BP10-12

Code :
BP10-12
Title :
Pisifera improvement programme
Objectives :
1) To obtain superior short pisifera/tenera recombinants from Dy.AVROSxYbi.AVROS selfs and intercrosses.
2) To obtain superior recombinants teneras from 3-4 way crosses involving selected Dy.AVROS,Ybi.AVROS,EWS-AVROS and La Me teneras.
3) To recapture the superiorities of the progeny-tested parents in hybrid seed-production.

Research and Development Projects: Oil Palm Breeding – BD8-9

Code :
BD8-9
Title :
DURA improvement programme
Objectives :
1) To obtain superior dura recombinants from 3-4 way intercrosses between selected duras.
2) To obtain superior dura palms from selfs of superior progeny-tested duras.

Code :
BCT9-18
Title :
Clonal testing programme(CT)- Evaluation of AAR clones in good and poor growing environment.
Objectives :
1) To investigate the yield potential of AAR clones in both good and poor growing environment.
2) To investigate the superiority of AAR clones and DxP materials.
