RESUMEN
El cultivo de palma de aceite ha presentado en los últimos años un notable crecimiento y hay estudios que sugieren la existencia de zonas sin restricciones o con restricciones moderadas donde podría seguir creciendo. Sin embargo, ello presenta, entre muchos otros, problemas de escasez de mano de obra, que en países como Malasia se han enfrentado con la mecanización. En Colombia, en cambio, es un área que apenas empieza a ser investigada. Este artículo presenta una revisión del estado del arte sobre algunos aspectos relacionados con la mecanización agrícola, especialmente en el cultivo de palma de aceite en labores que requieren alta mano de obra como son transporte interno de racimos de fruta fresca, aplicación de fertilizantes, control de malezas y corte de racimos.
ABSTRACT
Oil palm crop has been consistently growing in the last years; and according to some studies there are regions without restrictions or with mild restrictions through which oil palm planted area could expand. However, crop expansion in these regions must face, among others, labor shortage issues. Mechanization is an alternative to face this problem in countries such as Malaysia. However, this is a filed in which oil palm research has just begun in Colombia. This paper shows a review over some aspects related to agricultural mechanization, especially on oil palm cultivation in activities that are labor-demanding such as internal fresh fruit bunch handling and transport, fertilizer application, weed control and harvest.
