Evaluation Of Glutathione Disulphide On Oil Palm Seedlings (Elaeis guineensis) At Nursery Stage

Evaluation Of Glutathione Disulphide On Oil Palm Seedlings (Elaeis guineensis) At Nursery Stage

In the oil palm industry, increasing yield productivity without further land expansion is an important priority for big companies and smallholders. Glutathione disulphide (GSSG) has the potential to promote seedling growth and increase palm fruit productivity. This study was conducted to evaluate th...
