| Abstract | The purpose of this investigation was to test the efficiency of double cut alternative tapping system (DCA) on latex yield and growth of rubber tree. The experiment was conducted in a farmer's rubber plantation (on farm research) on clone RRIM600 at Khane Dong district, Buriram province, northeast Thailand during June 2013 to January 2015. Seven years old rubber trees planted in 2006 (spacing 7 X 3 m) were selected. The sampled trees were started to tap at maturity stage in 2013. This experiment comprised by two treatments: single panel tapping system as control (S/3, 2d/3, farmer's method) and double cut alternative tapping system (DCA, 2ืS/3 2d/3). The result showed that the DCA tapping system increased of latex yield by 9%, but the bark consumption was slightly higher than in control. The girths in both tapping system were not significantly different, but the farmer's method had higher girth increment than DCA tapping system in the second year. DCA system might be suitable to the marginal area and it should be the alternative system to improve yield without using ethylene stimulation. Further studies are needed to confirm that result in Northeast area of Thailand. |
