Pemanfaatan Data Agroklimatologi untuk Menduga Produksi Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) di Bangun Koling Estate, Kalimantan Tengah

Abstract

The objective of this internship was to estimate oil palm production by using agroeclimatological data. Data was collected in Bangun Koling Estate, PT Windu Nabatindo Abadi, Bumitama Gunajaya Agro, East Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan on February to June 2013. Data were analized by using multiple linear regression models. Results showed that among agroclimatological data there were five variables significantly determined oil palm production, i.e., plant age (month), rainfall on 6 months prior to harvest (MPH), air temperature on 24 MPH, relative air humidity on 18 and 24 MPH and wind speed on 6 and 18 MPH. From four possible multiple linear models, regression equation IV (MRLE IV) could be used to estimate annual and monthly production of oil palm in study site.
