Chemical composition of oil palm frond / Farhana Jasmi, Farahin Yusoff and Jamaludin Kasim

The growth of oil palm plantation has created the massive amounts of biomass especially oil palm frond. This issue will give negative influence on the environment and replanting operations. The higher amount of biomass gives an idea of the possibility to produce panel product or wood composite prod...
