Rubber Plantation Video

Featured Replies

For anyone interested in rubber I have just uploaded a new video of our plantation. I will post another of the factory later. Jim

Interesting mate...

Looks like you sprayed glyphosphate?..read someplace on an Indian website that its better to cut the grass and weeds..auto mulch etc..lol Glad o see the anti fungal...

..do you have termite issues...tons of the little bs on our farm. Lost a couple of big trees to wind with eaten out roots!

Your trees are how old?..they look somewhat small for cutting...apparently if you cut too soon it stunts future growth. What is the yield like ? Percentage of latex?

We are cutting about 500+ 10 year ++ old? (getting 39%/vol latex at about 120kg per day)trees now with another 4 thousand that are mostly at the same size as yours ..we will wait for another three years before cutting...

Interesting to see your factory setup..have a slow internet connection so stills would be nice..

Good luck with the farm mate thanks for the video :)

oh yes... have you considered rain shades for the wet..I contacted some Indian company which has them but they seem to be reluctant to supply ..probably think I will copy them?

Rubber likes rain, but it does not like wet roots. So don't plant where it is too wet. jim

This was excellent. A real peep into rubber farming. I would love to do this in the future.

Hi James,

How old are your trees / plantations? We'll be waiting until our trees are 8 1/2 - 9 yrs. old before tapping. :jap:
