Résumé : P.T. Socfindo uses their own oil palm planting material, produced by Pusat Seleksi Bangun Bandar (PSBB), its branch specialising in oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) breeding and seed production. This activity is supported by a complete breeding programme, fully integrated in the Re-current Reciprocal Selection network supported by Cirad-CP. In this programme, a new genetic block was established between 1995 and 2000 by P. T. Socfindo and Cirad-CP This block, named the Aek Loba Timur (ALT) Project, concerned the development of a new generation of sexual or clonal improved planting material, principally in order to improve oil yield and Ganoderma tolerance within the palm population. The project is established on Socfindo's largest estate Aek Loba of 10,500 ha. The location has the advantage of good environmental conditions (sandy-clay deep soils, a high water table, a low water deficit and high solar radiation). The project includes 28 trials: 25 progeny tests and 3 clonal tests, each being carried out at Pobé (Benin - West Africa) and at PSBB in which 489 different progenies and 48 clones are evaluated. The ALT Project covers around 490 hectares. The main field observations are focussed on the following: Yield (FFB and extraction rate), resistance to diseases and pests, trunk height, oil quality, mineral nutrition, etc. The 1995 planting, at 5 years old, and with an average yield close to 30 tonnes FFB/ha/yr provides a yield result that shows an important improvement in planting material potential. The first industrial extraction rate data (25%, all merged progenies), equivalent to 7.5 tons palm oil / ha, confirms these promises. These expectations are also reinforced by the first results obtained from the April 1997 planting (between 16 to 20 t FFB / ha / yr at 3.5 years old) and in the October - November 1997 planting (between 8.2 to 9.9 t FFB / ha / yr at 2.8 years old).
