When panels are wet (due to rain), tapping should not be carried out. The potential yield losses due to rain in different areas of Sri Lanka are presented. Methods to overcome lost tapping days, including the removal of moss growing on Hevea trunks around tapping panels so that panels dry more quickly, recovery tapping (daily tapping rather than tapping every other day or once every 3 days), rotation tapping (use of more tappers but this can result in tapping every day for some panels), and the use of rain guards to protect tapping panels, are discussed.
