Abstract: The purpose of this
research is to determine the relationship of the best quality oil palm at the
different age of plants in peatlands. The method used in this research is the
survey method using diagonal sampling 5% of the land area in order to obtain 27
plants of all plants ages (6, 7 and 9 years old). The data analyzed were fresh
weight, dry weight, volume of fruit, thick mesocarp, water capacity, oil return
and free fatty acid of oil palm. Data were analyzed using the t test and
correlation at the 5% level. The results showed the age of the plant affects
the weight of fresh fruit, fruit, dry weight and the volume of oil palm fruits,
but did not affect the mesocarp thickness, the water capacity of fruit, oil
content and free fatty acid of oil palm fruit. Based on the quality standards
of oil palm fruits PTPN V (2007) in this study, plant with age 6, 7 and 9 years
old have bad fruit, water capacity, good oil yield fruit and free fatty acid
with medium quality of fruit.
