Seeds
In the seeds division of Oleoflores we are dedicated to the research, sowing of genetic material, production, germination and commercialization of Dami Las Flores palm seeds ( Elaeis guineensis ).
Dami las Flores seeds not only encourage the planting of the palm crop, but also offer a social and economic life change for many of our customers under the model of productive alliances with small and medium farmers.
DAMI LAS FLORES SEEDS
We produce the cultivar Dami las Flores from crosses of Elaeis guineensis Dura Deli (D) and E. guineensis Pisifera Avros (P) palms, resulting in Tenera D x P type palms.
The Dami Las Flores cultivar has been produced in the municipality of Agustín Codazzi, Cesar, Colombia since 1994 and is distributed nationally and exported to oil palm growing countries in the Americas.
Currently, we have four mother palm gardens dedicated to seed production and two more in the registration stage.
The production capacity of germinated seeds is 1,400,000 per year
- The mother palms selected as female parents come from Daml Oil Palm Research.
(Papua Nueva Guinea). - Hard palms are characterized by a thick kernel with a good mesocarp oil content and high bunch production.
Similarly, Pisifera pollen, which is used to pollinate hard palms, is imported from Papua New Guinea (Dami Station) and is responsible for transmitting a high mesocarp content (high oil extraction rates) and little kernel because the fruits lack kernels and only in some cases present a slight ring of fibers in the center of the fruit. Generally, Pisifera fruits lack kernels.
As a result of crossing these two varieties (Dura and Pisifera) a seed is obtained that is known as Tenera, which has characteristics inherited from its two parents.
Desirable agronomic characteristics of the cultivar Dami las Flores for palm oil production:
- Precocity in the production of bunches of good weight.
- High oil yield per hectare due to the number and content of oil in the clusters.
- Good stability of bunch production throughout the year.
- Good sex ratio with a high proportion of female flowers.
- Legitimacy in crosses with less than 0.1% contamination.
- Reduced susceptibility to bud rot disease with proper agronomic management.

nurseries and crops
Germination - 0 to 24 months
From germination to 24 months, we take care of the proper growth in nurseries and then pass them on to the producing crops.
- Selection of seeds Dami las Flores: high quality oil palm seeds with high germination potential.
- Substrates: we use high-grade substrates with good water and nutrient holding capacity, as well as good aeration.
- Optimal environmental conditions: en nuestras zonas tropicales contamos con la temperatura y humedad ideal para la germinación de las semillas con temperaturas que oscilan entre los 28 y 32°C, así como humedad entre el 80 y 90%.
- Expert care and handling team: we have a qualified team to ensure healthy growth. This includes irrigation and fertilization, weed control, as well as pruning and growth management.
