Oil palm is widely cultivated in tropical countries for use in food
processing, personal care products and other applications such as
biodiesel. Cultivation faces a range of challenges such as its
environmental impact (e.g. in deforestation and biodiversity loss)
as well threats from pests and diseases. There is an urgent need to
make oil palm cultivation more efficient and environmentally
sustainable. This collection reviews the key research addressing
this challenge. Volume 1 begins by reviewing trends in production
and key challenges facing the sector. Part 2 focusses on
developments in understanding oil palm physiology, genetics and
genetic diversity and their application to improved breeding
techniques. The final part of the book discusses developments in
cultivation practices. With its distinguished editor and
international team of expert authors, this collection will be a
standard reference for researchers, oil palm growers, palm oil
processors as well as government and non-governmental agencies
responsible for more sustainable oil palm cultivation. Volume 1 is
accompanied by Volume 2 which covers pests and diseases, quality
and sustainability issues
