β¦ Synopsis
Non-destructive methods for estimation of Crop Growth Rate and Harvest Index of the oil plam (Elaeis guineensis JACQ.) are described . These methods were applied in a selection experiment, and the importance of considering Harvest Index, Leaf Area Index and planting density in selecting for increased yields is discussed .
