Abstract
Implementation of mechanisation has been the prime need for the Malaysian palm oil industry in order to reduce its foreign labour dependency. Mechanisation Index (MI) was used in this study to quantify the current mechanisation status in both oil palm seedling production and oil palm field cultivation. It was computed according to the expression of the ratio of machine energy to the total human and machine energy utilised in conducting the involved operations. The obtained average overall MI based on the 10 common clusters of operations in the oil palm FFB production was 0.43. The average overall MI for nursery operation was slightly lower than that of field cultivation operation ( i
实施机械化是马来西亚棕榈油行业减少对外劳务依赖的首要需求。本研究采用机械化指数（MI）来量化当前油棕苗生产和油棕田种植的机械化状况。机械化指数是根据机器能耗与相关作业中使用的人力和机器总能耗之比计算得出的。根据油棕果肉生产中的 10 个常见作业集群计算得出的平均总体 MI 值为 0.43。育苗作业的平均总体 MI 略低于大田栽培作业（i）。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
