520			_aFive-year-old trees of clone RRIM 901, Panel BO-1 were used to study the relationship between methods of latex extraction and stimulation on tree and land productivity with emphasis on gaseous stimulation. The study compared three different extraction methods viz., 1/2S, 1/6S and 3PI with two stimulation methods namely 2.5;ethephon and REACTORRIM technique while nil stimulation was the control. All the treatments were tapped with d/3 tapping frequency. There was a strong relationship between the surface area served and the mothod of stimulation employed. No significant advantage of stimulation was observed since the young Hevea trees used in the study did not response positively to the gaseous methods of stimulation used in the study specifically when the trees were tapped with the 1/2S d/3 system. The two-year study signified that the most practical method of extracting latex from young Hevea trees was the conventional 1/2S d/3 system without or with mild ethephon stimulation.
