Senarai Teknologi 2021 – Pemindahan Teknologi MPOB https://tot.mpob.gov.my <i>(MPOB Transfer of Technology)</i> Mon, 26 Aug 2024 02:55:10 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 TT No. 679: PALM KERNEL SHELL ACTIVATED CARBON FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT: A CONTINUOUS ADSORPTION SYSTEM https://tot.mpob.gov.my/2021/06/28/tt-no-679-palm-kernel-shell-activated-carbon-for-wastewater-treatment-a-continuous-adsorption-system/ Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:53:43 +0000 http://palmoilis.mpob.gov.my/TOTV3/?p=3608 Read more]]> Activated carbon from biomass is an alternative adsorbent for the industrial sector. It is popular because of its well known efficiency for the removal of pollutants and heavy metals in wastewater treatments, abundance raw material, low price, and ease of use. Activated carbon from oil palm biomass is therefore considered as environmentally sustainable and economically viable. Oil palm biomass is generated from the mill and is available at the mill site. Owing to these advantages, the raw material, transportation, and operating costs can be minimised.

]]> TT No. 678: MOBILE LIFTER – A DEVICE TO ASSIST FRESH FRUIT BUNCH (FFB) LOADING OPERATION https://tot.mpob.gov.my/2021/06/28/tt-no-678-mobile-lifter-a-device-to-assist-fresh-fruit-bunch-ffb-loading-operation/ Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:50:15 +0000 http://palmoilis.mpob.gov.my/TOTV3/?p=3604 Read more]]> 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 increase the overall time taken and lower the FFB quality.

]]> TT No. 677: FUNGICIDE APPLICATION FOR THE CONTROL OF Ganoderma UPPER STEM ROT (USR) DISEASE IN OIL PALM https://tot.mpob.gov.my/2021/06/28/tt-no-677-fungicide-application-for-the-control-of-ganoderma-upper-stem-rot-usr-disease-in-oil-palm/ Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:47:05 +0000 http://palmoilis.mpob.gov.my/TOTV3/?p=3600 Read more]]> 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 most prominent disease affecting the oil palm industry, the upper stem rot (USR) disease in oil palm is also associated and caused by Ganoderma.

]]> TT No. 676: Bacillus spp: A PROMISING GRAM-POSITIVE ENDOPHYTIC BACTERIA FOR Ganoderma CONTROL https://tot.mpob.gov.my/2021/06/28/tt-no-676-bacillus-spp-a-promising-gram-positive-endophytic-bacteria-for-ganoderma-control/ Mon, 28 Jun 2021 00:40:54 +0000 http://palmoilis.mpob.gov.my/TOTV3/?p=3595 Read more]]> This technology transfer offers the potential use of an endophytic gram- positive bacteria; Bacillus spp. as an active ingredient in the development of biopesticide against Ganoderma spp. This is because one of the biggest constraints in oil palm productivity is the challenges faced by pest and diseases (P&D) and among the P&D issues, basal stem rot (BSR) caused by Ganoderma spp. is of economic importance with incidences increasing over the years.
