SonnyWaxmo Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi, today it was our first day for rubber sale. After 12 tappings we had 227kg lump and we get 17500 cash, not much but what a felinig!!!! I think it's a good reason for a big whiskey today. Regards Sonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Good for you, enjoy the whiskey and have one for me. I could do with one as it has not stopped raining in 6 days. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwonitoy Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Good for you Sonny, I hope to get the same feeling in a couple of weeks or so. It's been a long wait. How many trees did you cut? Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capmata Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 hi sonny .. for easier rubber tapping you can use capmata ethephon for more production of rubber (up to 20% more ) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 hi sonny .. for easier rubber tapping you can use capmata ethephon for more production of rubber (up to 20% more ) Thanks Just going to say a little on some of theses alleged wonder applications for getting more rubber. There are snake oil salesmen out there. Some of them make claims, but as of yet I have never seen one post an independent report or have a Government agriculture deportment recommendation. I had one guy trying to sell a tree vitamin that not only increased out put, but rejuvenated old trees and made young ones grow faster. When I asked for a sample to try, after all if it is that good I would be buying. No, minimum order $1,000 US.Personally, if a thing is good word would travel fast. If the above is for real, feel free to post a link to an independent Uni or agriculture center, that has tested the product. Much cheaper to get a monk to bless the trees and probably just as good for upping out put. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Is this the same stuff ? http://news.agropages.com/News/NewsDetail---4505.htm Doesn't mention rubber though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Yes u are right about this . but everyone in MALAYSIA is familiar with Ethephon , because it is widely used in malaysia for over 20 years. so nobody will give u sample on a products that have been in the market for more than 20 years , here is the link on MALAYSIA RUBBER BOARD http://www.lgm.gov.my/RnD/cmu.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
