Canopy management tree training & crop loading C opportunities to learn fro...MacadamiaSociety
?
The document discusses crop load and productivity in macadamia orchards, drawing lessons from apple crop management. It summarizes that crop load affects tree physiology, flowering, and yield. High crop load leads to small fruits/nuts and low vegetative growth, while low crop load increases vegetative growth and fruit/nut size. Apple growers strategically manage crop loads to balance productivity and quality over seasons. The author believes macadamia growers need better understanding of crop load effects to develop management methods.
The team characterized the reservoir and found an original oil in place (OOIP) of 63.31 million stock tank barrels (MMSTB). Current recovery is 41.3% of the OOIP, leaving 37.14 MMSTB remaining. The team recommends expanding injector lines to improve the ineffective waterflood and recover more of the remaining 6% of OOIP valued at $410 million.
The development of oil palm cultivation followed very different paths across continents. Originating from Central Africa where palm oil was first collected from the wild in the forest, oil palm has since become a typical agro-industrial crop especially in South-East Asia and Latin America. More recently smallholders have increased their share in the production, while with some differences. Nowadays the problem that the oil palm sector faces is no longer related to either choose agro-industries or smallholders, but to find the best way to associate agro-industries and smallholders in mutually beneficial schemes. Examples from Indonesia, Cameroon and Colombia show the limits and opportunities of such associations.

Central government plans for economic growth may not adequately reflect the uneven economic geography in the UK. While some areas and cities are growing, growth is concentrated in urban cores, and not all communities will benefit equally. There are ongoing challenges at both the national and local levels in reconciling place-based policies with sector-neutral policies, and in coordinating economic development efforts across different administrative boundaries and levels of government. Local governments also face capacity issues in taking on more responsibilities with fewer resources.
