BC = backcross cycle; FFB = fresh fruit bunch production in kg/palm/year; BN = bunch number/palm/year; BW = bunch weight in kg; O/ha = oil production in tons/ha/year; Ti = trunk increment in cm/year; Ti dif. = trunk increment difference with the DxP tester in cm. LL = leaf length in cm; LL dif. = leaf length difference with the DxP tester in cm. |
