Oil palm is the world's most important oil crop and crossing is
used extensively in the production of commercial seed, breeding and
genetic studies. This book illustrates crossing techniques to
maximise success and safeguard purity, enabling the production of
high quality seeds to grow-on as planting material and in breeding
superior cultivars. Presenting sound practices based on scientific
innovation in plant breeding, this guide provides techniques
integrated with expertise and application of sustainable aspects of
agronomy and crop protection, alongside information and imaging
technology. Promoting green, eco-friendly agriculture, this book
covers: biology and genetics, germplasm, target traits and
commercial crossing; health and safety considerations in the field
and laboratory; pollen collection and storage, pollen viability
testing, and pollination; isolation of the female inflorescence;
and commercial tenera production. Based on experience and
protocols, this is an invaluable manual for students and
researchers in agriculture, plant breeders, growers and end users
interested in the practicalities of oil palm crossing for breeding
and commercial seed production
