Pollination solutions

Supermachos

Palms for pollen production

Supermacho palms have an almost continual production of male inflorescences. They offer an ideal solution for the pollination that is essential for good bunch formation, hence good FFB and oil yields.

In plots with Elaeis guineensis material, it is not infrequent to see a lack of male inflorescences, especially in the early years after planting.

In OxG (Elaeis oleifera x Elaeis guineensis) hybrid plots, assisted pollination is essential throughout the working life of the plantation.

In this case, Supermachos can be planted outside commercial plots, and in a zone free of PC.

PalmElit No.1 for Supermachos:

Palms with a high male inflorescence ratio have been identified and reproduced in seed or clone form. This selection work has led to the development of palms producing an exceptional number of male inflorescences: Supermachos. PalmElit is the first seed producer to market Elaeis guineensis material with a very masculine sex ratio.

Advice:
Be demanding when choosing your seeds. Oil palm pollination is a major profitability criterion. Any lack of pollen is very costly. Pollination management must be rational to guarantee a high fruit-set rate.
