Development of a mechanization selection system for oil palm plantations with alternative planting patterns

This article describes a study on the conceptual design and development of the most efficient mechanization selection system for oil palm plantations with alternative planting patterns. The study was conducted by extrapolating various planting patterns based on the existing triangular pattern and co...
