Studies on the mini-seedling budding of Hevea brasiliensis
Material type:
TextPublication details: Proceedings of IRRDB Symposium 1999, Hainan, Peoples Republic of China. pp.122-130. 1999Subject(s): Summary: The technique of mini-seedling budding of Hevea brasiliensis for rubber cultivation was developed at Rubber Cultivation Research Institute, CATAS. About 2 weeks after seeds were sown as usual, the seedlings of about 20 cm in height were strip budded with green buds under the uprooting condition and then grown in the small polybags under adequate shade. The top-buds of budgrafting success plants were pinched leaving 1 or 2 leaves of the first flush leaves during the 15th to 30th day after the plants were budgrafted and the stock buds were nicked in time. The buddings were raised at the nursery for 6-18 months when they were grown as mini-buddings with 2-6 whorls of leaves and stems upwards of 0.4 cm in diameter. The mini-buddings had the advantages similar to the current young buddings such as low cost, easy transporting, handling and transplanting, high field establishment rate, uniform growth, shortening immature period, high tappable rate and yielding normally as compared with bare root budded stumps or polybag buddings. The technique of mini-seedling budding would greatly lessen the labour intensity of budding as compared with the current budding methods because the budding work can be done in workroom instead of in field and shorten the time for stock growing as could as possible because the budding work can be done in mini-seedling stage. It makes it is possible to raise buddings in the same year of the seedfall season in China.
