Subject DXP seed production, kernel germination
 
Description At present, only five oil palm seed gardens are actively involved in DXP seed production in India with cumulative capacity of 10-12 lakh germinated seeds in a year. The National Mission on Edible Oils (NMEO) – Oil Palm has targeted to increase area under oil palm to 10.0 lakh hectares by 2025-26 from the present level of 3.50 lakh hectares. For this, nearly 975 lakh oil palm seedlingsare required (Reddy, 2020). Further, conventional method of seed dormancy breaking and germination is an energy and time consuming process and produces only 40-50% quality germinated seeds. Increase in germination canfacilitate to enhance planting material production with same level of seed production. Hence, an alternate method was attempted to germinate oil palm kernel to improve germination.
