Inter-tree rubber yield and growth variability a comparrison of plantation and agroforest in Sumatra, Indonesia

Export citation

The often-reported high variability in latex production found in agroforests has some important management consequences associated to individual tree level management decisions but it is not clear how much of this variability is of genetic origin. Therefore it is difficult to predict the extent to which the introduction of improved clonal material will effect inter-tree variability in latex production and hence associated management practices.
