Abstrak

Castration or ablation is the removal of young flowers carried out from when the plant flowers (14-18) months to 26-30 months or when the number of flowers monitored in a block has reached 50%.   All male and female flowers up to a height of 30 cm above the ground are removed, do not cut off the fronds.  Small flowers are broken with a hook, while large flowers are broken with a dodos tool.   The flowers are collected on the sidewalk and when they are dry they are burned. Castration is cutting off both male and female flowers that have grown on plants that are 12-20 months old.  Male flowers, female flowers and budded fruit (if not rotten) are collected in the plantation (land between rows of oil palm plants).  The tool used is dodos or IRHO tools.
