PROBLEM STATEMENT The equipment is designed on the basis of problems encountered by farmers during pollination so that productivity of oil palm will increased
The problem occurred while the farmers have
difficulties to reach at the height of the palm oil trees to carry out pollination. OIL PALM TREES • The oil palm trees help the Malaysia economy. • A mature oil palm tree has a single tree trunk and grows up to 20 meters. • The tree has 2 types of flower bunches, male and female.
The female The male flower
flower bunches bunches of palm oil of palm oil. (anthesis). POLLINATION PROCESS FOR OIL PALM TRESS • The pollination process for oil palm trees are carried out by pollination agents indirectly. • Pollination agents are insects, wind, flying animals and living creatures; such as bees, birds and men. • The probability to spread the pollen successfully by using these methods is low. The popular pollination agent The yellow powder (insects- are the pollen ELAIDOBIUS) grains. used in Malaysia. CROSS POLLINATION Cross pollination is the transfer of pollen grain from the anther to the stigma from another flower or plant. The two plants genetic material combines to create beneficial qualities from both plants. This process produces more quality fruits. The new varieties more adaptable to the environment changes. The new varieties are more resistant to disease. PICTURE OF THE POLLINATION SPRAY MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE POLLINATION SPRAY
