- Abstract
This research aimed to study the interaction between seven crosses and three locations of 4-year old oil palm crosses (cross number 501, 506, 512, 514, 521, 523 and 530) were provided by Pao-Rong Oil Palm Company. These crosses were grown in three locations in southern of Thailand, including Nuea-Khlong District, Krabi Province; Ron-Phiboon District, and Cha-uat District; Nakhon Sri Thamarart Province. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design for each location during July 2009 -- June 2010. Each pair of cross was set as treatment, and fresh fruit bunch of each treatment was harvested from five oil palm trees. The additive main effects and multiplicative interaction model (AMMI) were applied for the analysis of stability of fresh fruit bunch characteristics, given cross was fix factor and location was random factor. The result indicated that the influence of interaction between cross and location to differentiate the fresh fruit bunch was statistically significant. Specifically, each pair of cross grown in different locations exhibited different yields. The result showed that cross number 530 was the most stable due to similar fresh fruit bunches in the three locations. However, cross number 512, 514 and 501 were less stable, whereby fresh fruit bunch differed among locations. Cross number 512 yielded the most fresh fruit bunch at Ron-Phibun District (99.1 kg/palm/year). Cross number 501 yielded the most fresh fruit bunch at Cha-uat District (38.1 kg/palm/year) and cross number 514 yielded the most fresh fruit bunch at Nuea-Khlong District (57.9 kg/palm/year).
