Summary:

Cultivation of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq) has expanded in years such that it has now become a major source of the world supply of vegetable oil, and is one of the important tree crops in the humid tropics, with its main centre of production in Southeast Asia. This book presents topical research data in the study of oil palm.
