A study was carried out in an adult Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis) plantation intercropped
with cocoa (Theobroma cocoa) grown in sandy loam soil to study the effect of cropping
system on above ground carbon sequestration. Non-destructive method for calculating
standing biomass of oil palm and cocoa were used. Based on this biomass data carbon
stock and CO2 sequestered from the system were estimated. The standing biomass of Oil
Palm, Cocoa and Oil Palm with Cocoa were 95.33 t.ha-1
, 59.96 t.ha-1
and 155.29 t.ha-1
,
respectively, while the carbon stock of oil palm, cocoa and oil palm with cocoa were in
order of 47.66 t.ha-1
, 29.98 t.ha-1
and 77.64 t.ha-1
and the CO2 sequestration of oil palm,
cocoa and oil palm + cocoa intercropped system were 174.93 t.ha-1
, 110.02 t.ha-1
and
284.95 t.ha-1
respectively. Based on these results, Cocoa could be an ideal intercrop in
adult oil palm plantation for enhanced CO2 sequestration in the system.
