N2  - This manual discusses first the history of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) production and the health and safety in the seed processing facility, then describes the isolation of the female inflorescence, pollination, harvesting, seed preparation, seed viability testing, seed moisture testing, seed processing for commercial seed production, and seed production for breeding. It shows that the process for both commercial and breeding seed production starts with deliberate and controlled crossing of parental lines, followed by bunch harvesting, removal of the fruit mesocarp and the delivery of fresh, ungerminated seed to a seed production facility. These are then followed by subsequent seed germination protocols. Target audiences of this manual are students and researchers in agriculture, plant breeders, buyers, growers and end-users interested in the practicalities of oil palm seed production for breeding and sale
