Have you guys ever heard about "Clonal Palm"?? ..no idea!!..well let me share with you guys the story of this wonderfull..superior plant known as "clonal planting materials" and guess what..this is actually the future oil palm planting materials in Malaysia. This superior oil palm (Kelapa Sawit) produced using the latest technology in biology...or people may call it "Biotechnology". As what we all know, ordinary oil palm (most all plants) germinated via seed but somehow this particular palm "given life" from active and developping plant cell..usually taken from young oil palm leaf or my nenek used to call it..."umbut".....To illustrate the delicate process, attached herewith the simplified process...for sharing purpose :)
Usually..from (a) to (f) will take 2-3 years to complete the process (Production cycle) and can be harvested after 2-3 years after field planting...and u might ask...what for...all this?? ha ha ha..interested to know...please come visit my laboratoy in Tawau for cup of coffee or tea and i will share all the wonderfull things about this "Clonal Palm" :)
