Abstract

Ten hybrid progenies of tenera oil palm (dura × pisifera) derived from 14 genetic origins as F1 hybrid single generation were evaluated for yield and yield attributing traits during three consecutive years (2015-16 to 2017- 18). Crossing programme with pedigree numbers 90 × 557 (D × P) having progeny code NRCOP 2 showed the highest bunch number (8.14) and fresh fruit bunch (221.8 kg palm-1 years-1). There were significant difference among the hybrids in respect of mesocarp to fruit, which ranged from 48.1 to 75.7 per cent. Frond production had a positive correlation with number of inflorescence production (0.662 *), sex ratio (0.698 *), bunch number (0.654*) and fresh fruit bunch (FFB) yield (0.659*). Yield of FFB had a strong positive correlation with bunch number (0.773*). Tenera hybrid NRCOP 2 proved to be a promising hybrid for cultivation in western coastal regions of Indian with respect to growth and yield parameters.
