Abstract
SUMMARYThe relation between some growth parameters in polybag oil palm nursery seedlings were assessed. ‘Non-destructive’ parameters such as leaf number, seedling height and girth were highly and positively correlated with one another and with the dry weight of seedlings. Amongst the ‘destructive’ parameters only leaf area, height/weight ratio and fresh weight were positively correlated with dry weight. The Leaf Area Index was poorly correlated with other parameters examined. The relevance of these findings to the selection of oil palm seedlings for transplanting into the field is discussed.
