Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Low empty fruit bunch application increased cumulative oil palm yield over 15 years by 2.4% versus chemical fertilizer.
- Intervention effect High empty fruit bunch application increased cumulative yield by 4.8% versus the reference.
- Intervention effect Annual yield and temporal production stability did not differ significantly among treatments.
- Intervention effect Medium empty fruit bunch application produced higher soil organic carbon than chemical fertilizer.
- Association Soil organic carbon was positively associated with annual crop yield after a two-year lag.
- Association Relative humidity was positively associated with annual crop yield after a two-year lag.
- Association Climatic conditions strongly affected temporal variability of oil palm production.
