EFFECT OF DIFFERENT MOISTURE AND SHADE REGIMES ON SEEDLING GROWTH OF THREE OIL PALM (Elaeis guineensis) PROGENIES

Abstract

The effect of three different moisture and shade regimes on the seedling growth of three Dura x

Pisifera oil palm progenies was investigated at the Oil Palm Research Institute, Kusi between

July 1998 and February 2000. A split plot design with four replications was used. Data were

collected on leaf number per plant, plant height, butt circumference and leaf area as well as dry

weight of plant parts and total plant dry weight. Growth analysis was performed and correlation

among traits calculated. Phenotypic and genotypic variances as well as heritability estimates

were also determined. Significant effects on seedling growth due to shade, moisture supply and

progeny as well as their interactions were observed. All the characters studied were

significantly and positively (P
