by

SureSawitTM True-to-Type genotypingplatform (Version 1) consisting of24 genome-wide single nucleotidepolymorphism (SNP) markers that arestably inherited, was introduced in 2018.The Version 1 genotyping platform proved usefulin discriminating individual palms, even in fullsib families and allowed assignment of palms toa family when the expected parents are known.In such a guided-analysis, Version 1 was usedto validate the legitimacy … Read more

TS194: Total Chloride Content Analysis in Crude Palm Oil and Secondary Oils

by

The 3-monochloro-1,2-propanediolesters (3-MCPDE) are chemical food contaminants that are carcinogenic.The 3-MCPDE is formed due to high deodorisation temperature at there fining stage of crude palm oil (CPO). The primary precursor for 3-MCPDE formation is chloride which is present in the plantation and mill where it gets into the palm oil. Sources of chloride are water, … Read more

TT No. 678: MOBILE LIFTER – A DEVICE TO ASSIST FRESH FRUIT BUNCH (FFB) LOADING OPERATION

by

Most small farm machinery usually drop their loads on the ground at the collection point and later the fresh fruit bunch (FFB) will be manually transferred into the bin. Currently, manual FFB loading involves picking up bunches with an iron spike and dropping them into a 1-1.5 m height bin (Figure 1). Multiple handlings will … Read more

TT No. 677: FUNGICIDE APPLICATION FOR THE CONTROL OF Ganoderma UPPER STEM ROT (USR) DISEASE IN OIL PALM

by

Productivity losses caused by the widespread of plant diseases are one of the biggest challenges faced by the agriculture industry. In oil palm, the most serious threat to its production is the basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma species, which has lead to significant losses to the industry in Malaysia. Although BSR is the … Read more
