Resumen

Oil palm plantations require the management and control of variables that allow guaranteeing a successful harvesting process, in which we guarantee high levels of plantation effectiveness and efficiency in the use of assigned resources. We designed a simulation model of the assisted entomophilic pollination process in oil palm plantations for the projection of future production scenarios. We carried out a non-experimental study, of a descriptive purposeful type, to generate the simulation model applying the systems dynamics methodology. We work with a sample of 72 palm growers, whose plots are located in the Loreto Region-Peru, to whom we apply an instrument to know the total hectares, number of plots, area, year of sowing, hectares in production, with natural pollination., racemes per plant, kilos per plant and percentage of inflorescence pollinated and not pollinated. The result was that we planned future production scenarios in oil palm plantations based on the simulation of the assisted entomophilic pollination process using the model built from 2019 to 2030. We conclude that through the simulation model created applying the methodology of system dynamics it is possible to predict future production scenarios in the Shanusi oil palm plantations. © Los autores.
