Considerations on the eradication of palm oil in Colombia
To eradicate oil palms can be a decision made by sanitary reasons (a pest that attacks the crop) or because of the height of the crop that impedes the harvesters from doing their job properly or the existence of high yielding new materials. In any case, the impact on the company´s cash flow is quite important. This article presents various methods of replanting that have been used around the oil palm world, considering their advantages and their disadvantages. It concludes that the methods on which the trunks and leaves from old palms are incorporated to soils are cost effective. Besides this, they permit to improve the plantation´s design and to correct undesired physical and chemical characteristics of the soils such as ground compaction or acidity.
