Oil Palm Production and Sustainability

Climate change induced by human activities is a global problem that negatively affects the ecological, economic and social processes that govern the planet, mainly caused by greenhouse gases such as methane, nitrous oxide and carbon dioxide.(CO2 ).As for atmospheric carbon content, these have increased mainly due to two human activities: change in land use and fossil fuels.In this study, the storage of organic carbon in soil and roots of Elaeis was determined.guineensisJacq in three different producing areas in Soconusco, Chiapas.For this, three oil palm producing sites were selected.Soil samples were taken to obtain root and soil biomass at five depths: 0-0.2 m, 0.2-0.4m, 0.4-0.6 m, 0.6-0.8m and 0.8-1.0 m.For the analysis of carbon present in the soil and roots, the modified Walkley and Black method was used, using a sucrose standard solution.To obtain the calibration curve, the absorbance was measured at 590 nanometers (nm) with the Metash UV spectrophotometer.-6000.The results showed that in all the samples analyzed, the carbon content in the first 20 cm of soil was higher with respect to the subsequent depths, with the "Xochicalco" site of Villa Comaltitlan standing out with 39.40 tha -1.Likewise, the carbon content in roots less than 2 mm in diameter, from the "El Arenal" site in Acapetahua, stood out with 993.02 kgha -1 at the depth of 0-20 cm, while in the roots of 2-5 mm in diameter The "Plan de Ayala" site in Huehuetan stood out, with 470.05 kgha -1 at a depth of 1.0 m, and in roots greater than 5 mm in diameter, the "Xochicalco" site in Villa Comaltitlan stood out with 866.56 kgh -1 at the depth of 1.0 m. depth of 20-40 cm.These results reflect that the accumulation of carbon both in the soil and in the roots of the dripping area of the oil palm according to the texture, fertility and depth of the soil, demonstrate that the amount of organic carbon present in the soil and roots is different in the areas oil palm producers in
