Average K, Mg, and Ca concentrations (% of leaflet dry matter), total leaf cation charge (TLCC), and mineral proportions (% relative to TLCC), observed in the leaflet of rank 17 fronds of four oil palm progenies evaluated from 3 to 6 YAP in Indonesia (PIC, 2011).

Different letters (a, b, c, and d) indicate significant differences in parameters among oil palm progenies according to a Tukey’s test. Progenies were classified in 2 categories: category (+): leaflet mineral concentration (lmc) > almc and category (−): lmc < almc; where almc is the average leaflet mineral concentration of all progenies (Jacquemard et al., 2009).

[K], [Mg], [Ca]: Mineral proportions (%, relative to TLCC).
