KW  - RRIMFLOW system
N2  - RRIMFLOW tapping system was initially introduced in Felcra on a trial basis. The success with the system both in terms of yield and returns to tappers has encouraged its commercial adoption. In 1997 and 1998 (to-date) over 200,000 trees or over 400 tasks are using the RRIMFLOW system. An evaluation showed that those who used the system of tapping for 12 months obtained a yield of over 2,500 kg/ha during this period. The RRIMFLOW system is seen as an appropriate system to enhance productivity in a number of FELCRA schemes with clones GT1, PR 261, PR 255 and RRIM 600, often with poor quality renewed bark. With the adoption of this system the operations in the scheme are expected to obtain substantial benefits
