Options for protection from diseases

Intermediate to high resistance to the Bud Rot complex

#PC, intermediate to high resistance to the Bud Rot complex, is an option of oil palm protection from the Bud Rot complex, available for our best seeds. PalmElit proposes two types of complementary solutions:

• #PC OxG, with high resistance, obtained by interspecific hybridization between Elaeis oleifera and Elaeis guineensis. This solution comprises 3 products:

- Coari x La Mé

- Coari x Yangambi

- (Mangenot x Manicoré) x La Mé

• #PC GxG, with intermediate resistance, the result of selecting intraspecific Deli x La Mé crosses within the Elaeis guineensis species.

#PC OxG or #PC GxG?

Depending on the cases, it may be advantageous to plant a single option or both in varying proportions. Ask our representatives for advice to find out which strategy is best suited to your needs and the disease status in your region.

PalmElit No.1 for #PC:

PalmElit and its partners are pioneers in Elaeis oleifera American oil palm surveys and breeding and were the first to exploit and maintain a broad genetic base and to propose two types of complementary solutions.

Advice:

Be demanding when choosing your seeds. In addition to high resistance everywhere, our #PC OxG option also guarantees high yields and an extraction rate complying with mill requirements. Our #PC GxG option is advantageous in several regions of Latin America. For example, in zones under threat from the Bud Rot complex, #PC GxG Elaeis guineensis palms with intermediate resistance offer flexibility which might prove decisive in the event of the disease emerging, enabling you to organize yourself right from the first symptoms.
