TEs may accumulate in soil over time, and be taken up by plants, posing a food-chain transfer risk if allowed to exceed soil guideline values. These amendments can contain elevated concentrations of trace elements (TEs), either as the active ingredient (e.g., Cu-based fungicides) or as contaminants, including F, Zn, As, Cd, Pb and U. Elaeis guineensis is typically produced on weathered acidic soils, with fertilisers and fungicides used to increase production. 14, issue 8, 1-15Īfrican oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis ) is grown on 17,000,000 hectares in Southeast Asia, producing oil and the by-product, palm kernel expeller (PKE), for export.
