Investigations on Simarouba glauca Dc. in El Salvador

Abstract

The use of the kernels of Simarouba glauca as a potential source of vegetable oil was first noted in 1939. These kernels produce 62 per cent edible oil under commercial extraction procedures. The trees are polygamo-dioecious, thus creating a selection problem for commercial plantings. A progress report of investigations on the botany, propagation, selection, insect pests, and diseases is given.
