Comprehensive overview of the clone RRISL 2006
Material type:
TextPublication details: Rubber Science, 36(1): 2023. 79-87.Subject(s): Summary: The Hevea breeding programme in Sri Lanka aims to produce high yielding and vigorous rubber clones with good secondary characteristics for adoption by the rubber sector. The full-sib population produced by the 1982 hybridization programme was evaluated at various stages viz., nursery, small scale clone trial and estate collaborative large scale trials in different agro-climatic regions. Subsequently, RRISL 2006 (HP 82-140) was identified as a very promising clone with good latex and timber properties. Based on the evaluation, clone RRISL 2006 was recommended as a Group III clone for small scale planting in plantation sector. This paper discusses about various aspects of the clone in terms of its morphological characteristics, biochemical aspects of latex and disease resistance traits.
