Prospect of the early grafting technique on Hevea rubber propagation

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Climate change, low carbon economy and sustainable natural rubber industry: Preprints of proceedings of IRRDB International Rubber Conference 2010, 18-19 October 2010 Sanya, Hainan, ChinaSubject(s): Summary: Planting material of Hevea rubber is propagated by budding, that is a vegetative propagation system done by patching of budwoods scions on rootstocks. The technique was developed by Helten in 1917, and it still the best vegetative propagation techniques which has been adopted widely by rubber planters. The technique needs about 12-18 months to prepare clonal planting material before replanting was done. Another vegetative propagation technique that more simple and faster in process was just developed, that was early grafting technique. The experiment of early grafting was done by grafted of rootstocks PB 260 seedlings with 3 and 6 weeks old of axilar shoots of RRIC 100 budwoods. The experiment consisted two treatments. The first, 3 weeks old of seedling grown in seedbed were grafted outsite of seedbed after the seedling were uprooted and then the grafted seedling were grown again on seedbed. The second, 4-6 weeks old of rootstock sedling grown in 10 x 20 cm polybag were grafted directly without uprooting. The grafted seedling of the both treatments then incubated a month under transparent plastic cover and under about 50;sun intensity. The result of the experiment were that grafting success of the first treatment was 48;, while the second treatment was 69;. The failure of the early grafting praticularly caused by leaf fall and rot stem disease. Be side of the case, retardation of begining growth after grafting was still a constraint that must be solved. The continued research must go on for breakthrough the constraints in order the propagation technique can be adopted by rubber planters.
