Description
The present DAMI MAS Pisifera pollen for DxP seed production is derived from DM 742 progeny, descendants of the well-known Avros BM119, introduced into DAMI MAS in 1996 via DAMI OPRS. The DM742 derived pisiferas have been well proven in oil palm breeding trials and commercial fields in all main oil palm growing areas, especially Indonesia and Malaysia. DAMI Mas continues to use P pollen derived from DM742 imported from DAMI OPRS while progeny testing is being carried out with DAMI Mas DM742 derived pisiferas. These pisiferas will gradually replace the imported DM742 derived pisiferas.
