#G, intermediate resistance to Ganoderma, is an option of oil palm protection from Ganoderma, available for our best seeds. The resistance passed on to seeds by our best parents is assessed in plantations and by large-scale early screening tests on seedlings in the prenursery.

Comment:

As resistance is assessed in Indonesia, its validity for plantations in Africa or America remains to be demonstrated, even though it is likely.

PalmElit No.1 for #G:

We were the first to market Ganoderma-resistant seeds (intermediate resistance).

Advice:

Be demanding when choosing your seeds. Once the plantation has been set up, genetics remain the best protection against Ganoderma. This warrants maximum attention when choosing seeds and strong insistence on the seed producer’s facilities and results.
