Description The maximum standard deviation was observed for total
number of fruits followed by total number of spikelet and percentage of
shell/fruit, whereas highest CV % was recorded for bunch weight
followed by oil to bunch %, single fruit weight and single nut weight. The
four identified palms had maximum values of bunch components viz,
total number of spikelet, single fruit weight, total number of fruits,
mesocarp tofruit and oil to bunch with 262, 15.79g, 2246, 73.79 % and
37.3 %, respectively. Principal Component Analysis of bunch
components revealed that the first three principal components
accounted for 79.1% of the variability observed with Eigen value more
than one. The most important bunch components that contributed more
to the diversity of the oil palms are fruit to bunch, single nut weight, single kernel weight, bunch weight, total number of spikelets, total number of fruits and
shell thickness.
The present study was carried out with an aim to select promising individual oil palms from Nigerian source population at Hut Bay, Little Andaman Island for utilization in breeding programme, enrich germplasm assemblage and conservation in the field gene bank
