Herbicides such as diuron are often used to control broad-leaf weeds. However, wide spread use of diuron in oil palm plantations has lead to concerns on its impact on the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an analytic method to detect and quantify diuron residue in soil. Diuron is the common name for 3-(3,4-dichlophenyl)-1,1- […]

Germinated oil palm seed is the first link in the palm oil supply chain: this is where the oil palm where the oil palm seeds are produced at the seed production unit before sending to the nursery. The LCA of oil palm seeds is a cradle-to-gate analysis. The starting point is the transportation of fresh […]

The palm biodiesel technology has been develop in MPOB since 1980s. In recent years, biodiesel has gained a significant role as a blending component for diesel fuel. Various countries including Malaysia have implemented the blending of biodiesel into diesel fuel in various ratios. Malaysia has implemented the B5 (blend of 5% biodiesel with 95% diesel […]
