Summary, etc	The rubber industry is facing shortage of skilled tappers. This paper is investigated the low frequency 114s alternate tapping (t,t) system that requires less of these skilled tappers. With the same tapping frequency, it was observed that the 114s (t,t) with stimulation produced crop higher than the control, 1/2s system. In addition, the yield per task per tapping was enhanced by the tapping of more trees per day. By tapping a large task size of 700-800 trees insted of the normal task size of 600 trees, a tapper brought in more crop, and therefore, earned a higher daily wage. By reducing tapping frequency but with increased stimulation intensity using the Guthrie paste technique of stimulation applied to the 1/4s d/4 (t,t) system, very encouraging yield compared with the 1/2s d/2 control was obtained. This has resulted in substantial saving in labour as well as higher revenue and wages for the tappers.
