Pejibaye palm (Bactris gasipaes, Arecaceae): Multi-use potential for the lowland humid tropics
Economic Botany, 1987 Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) was domesticated and widely used in the lowland humid neotropics during pre-Colombian times. Several research programs are underway to study and improve the species for use by farmers in ecologically suitable regions.

Characterization of the Tensile Behavior of Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) Fibers
Polymers From Renewable Resources, 2012Pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) palm is harvest in large plantations to the sustainable production of heart of palm. Residues of the cut down palms can be conveniently managed to produce short and long fibers. These fibers are now beginning to be used to produce agglomerated panels and to reinforce polymeric matrices composites, but their mechanical ...

Pejibaye Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene Matrix Composites
Polymers From Renewable Resources, 2016The use of chopped pejibaye fibers obtained from the residues of pejibaye plantations is presented. These fibers are obtained from the leftover residues after the collection of heart of palm from pejibaye palms. PP-pejibaye composites were manufactured and the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were compared to the properties of the ...

Use of AFLPS to distinguish landraces of pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes) in brazilian Amazonia [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2002 Although the first inhabitants of western Amazonia domesticated pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes Kunth, Palmae) or peach palm for its fruits, today it is widely planted for its heart-of-palm. Like other domesticates, pejibaye presents a complex hierarchy of landraces developed before the conquest of the Americas.

Pejibaye palm: Physical and chemical analysis of the fruit
Economic Botany, 1967The variability of the nutritional components of pejibaye fruit is fairly high and provides the impetus for further studies. These should be directed primarily toward the discovery of the highest possible carotene content associated with the least spines on the trunk.

The potential use of the pejibaye palm in agroforestry systems
Agroforestry Systems, 1988The pejibaye's potential for the small holder, especially in an agroforestry environment, is summarized: the fruit can be a significant addition to the family diet and income, both directly and as animal feed; on farm processing of the fruit for baking and other culinary uses has great potential and excedents can be marketed; small scale palmito ...

Genotypic variation in vesicular‐arbuscular mycorrhizal dependence of the pejibaye palm
Journal of Plant Nutrition, 1995Abstract Two experiments were undertaken to determine the degree of mycorrhizal dependency of pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes, Palmae) seedling progenies from two Amazonian (Pampa Hermosa; Putumayo) and one Central American (Guatuso) land races. Plants were grown in subsurface samples of either an Oxisol (the Amazonian progenies) or an Ultisol, with or ...

A review of the importance of spines for pejibaye heart-of-palm production
Scientia Horticulturae, 2000Commercial plantations of pejibaye (Bactris gasipaes Kunth, Palmae) are expanding in tropical America to supply the heart-of-palm market. The heart-of-palm is a gourmet vegetable composed of the tender unexpanded leaves in the palm's crown. Both spiny and spineless germplasm is available to growers, but there are no clear data on the superiority of ...
