ADDTIONAL INFORMATION

Pruning oil palm trees offers several benefits that enhance their overall productivity and health. Healthier trees with better sunlight exposure can produce higher yields, as proper pruning ensures optimal photosynthesis. It also helps in pest and disease management by removing dead or diseased fronds that can harbor harmful pests and pathogens. Additionally, well-pruned trees are easier to access, making harvesting more efficient and reducing labor costs. Pruning promotes better air circulation, which helps prevent fungal infections and maintains the overall health of the trees.
