Puncture tapping with ethylene stimulant on rubber production and wood quality
Material type:
TextPublication details: The 37th Kasetsart University Annual Conference, 3-5 February, 1999Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: Puncture tapping with ethylene stimulant (PTE) is widely used in Thailand under the trade name of Agrobase Gassing System(AG) since its introduction in 1993. AG is used to promote production in non-productive rubber [Hevea]-plantations of .15 years of age. AG is applied for 1-2 yeas before the plantations are replanted. A comparison of PTE, conventional tapping (CT), CT with ethrel stimulant (CTE), high level tapping with ethrel [ethephon] stimulant (HTE), and CT with ethrel stimulant and plastic rain guard (CTEP), was carried out using 20-year-old RRIM 600 at Ranong Rubber Station, Thailand. PTE gave statistically higher yields (dry rubber sheet) than the other treatments. There were no statistical differences in wood quality between PTE and CT treatments.
