Analysis of fresh fruit bunches production based on oil palm bioenvironmental factors

Oil palm plantations are a source of foreign exchange for the country. Good management really determines the production of Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFB) of Oil Palm. Sustainable management must take into account all the factors that affect FFB production and have a model that can be used as a guide in oil palm plantations. This study aims to analyze all the factors that affect the production of oil palm FFB and create a model for managing FFB production in oil palm plantations. This study uses survey and observation methods. Observation parameters are the results of interviews, afdeling and research blocks, planting age (year), land area (ha), number of principal production (palm), SPH (space per hectare, palm/ha), type of weeds attack, type of pest attack, type of disease attack, biological agent, number of shoots per tree, average weight (kg/plant), FFB production (tone/ha), fertilization (kg/palm, weed control, pest control, disease control, soil conservation), water conservation, rainfall and rainy days, landscape, area and slope shape, soil family, soil pH, base saturation, slope and land suitability. Data were analyzed by Cobb-Douglas Multiple Linear Regression, SPSS 18. The results showed that the management model of oil palm plantations includes ten bioenvironmental factors, namely bio-physical, bio-agent, topography, climate, fertilization, soil conservation, water conservation, weeds, pests, and diseases. The increase and decrease in the management process affect the production of FFB. published by the International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR)
