After more than a century of cultivation and more than 80 years since the first field
experiments on fertilizer use, there seems to be sufficient knowledge of oil palm mineral …

Oil palm cultivation has environmental impacts, including those associated with nitrogen (N)
losses. Improving management practices to optimise yield and N losses is critical. In order to …

Rising global demand for palm oil has created environmental pressures related to
deforestation, burning, and peat exploitation, which in turn drives increased greenhouse gas …

Oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia are the largest supplier of palm oil products and have
been rapidly expanding in the last three decades even in peat-swamp areas. Oil palm …

CONTEXT The area under oil palm cultivation has expanded importantly in South-East Asia.
The resulting land-use transformations are associated with environmental degradation such …

Abstract In Southeast Asia, oil palm (OP) plantations have largely replaced tropical forests.
The impact of this shift in land use on greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes remains highly …

The rapidly growing areal extent of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) plantations and their
high fertilizer input raises concerns about their role as substantial N2O sources. In this study …

Oil palm cultivation has drastically increased in the last decades and has become a key crop
to meet the global vegetable oil demand, while raising environmental issues linked to …

Predicting the fertilizer requirements of an oil palm plantation has long been a difficult task.
Two main methods have emerged. Leaf analyses (LA) were used for fertilization …

The agro-food system satisfying human food demand releases heavy nitrogen (N) loads into
the environment. The N footprint is an indicator of N loads from individual consumption of …
