Half-Month Flowering Counts for 6 Acrocomia Accessions with Climate Data, 2019-2022

6 accessions of Acrocomia oilseed palm were monitored for flowering events in an ex-situ germplasm bank in Araponga, Brazil. Data on opened inflorescences is aggregated per half-month and spans from March 2019 to March 2022. The dataset also includes aggregated climatic and photoperiodic data for the location, derived from AgERA5 and NASA sources.

Use Cases

• Modeling flowering phenology patterns based on half-month aggregated counts.
• Analyzing the relationship between flowering events and climatic variables derived from AgERA5.
• Studying the influence of photoperiod on oil palm reproduction using NASA-derived data.
• Comparing reproductive behavior across different Acrocomia accessions in a germplasm bank.

Strengths

• Data collection covers a 3-year period from March 2019 to March 2022.
• Includes aggregated climatic and photoperiodic data from authoritative sources (AgERA5, NASA).
• Focuses on 6 distinct accessions within a managed germplasm bank.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is aggregated per half-month, which may obscure finer temporal patterns.
