Clones
The planting materials approved by the Rubber Board are classified in to three categories
I, II and III.
Category I
Approved for large scale planting. However, it is strongly recommended that these
may be used to cover only 50% of the total area of any estate or small holding.
Category II
Clones, which have shown their good performance in India over long term or medium
term periods. It is recommended that three or more of these clones be used to plant
up to 50 per cent of the total area of any estate or small holding. Cattle manure
and 4 kg of rock phosphate for every 100 m2 of of nursery bed is recommended as basal
dressing. When the same area is repeatedly used, rock phosphate needs to be
applied only once in three years. Application of 275 kg urea, 700 kg rock phosphate,
85 kg muriate of potash and 235 kg magnesium sulphate or 1250 kg 10-4-1.5 NPKMg mixture
and 118 kg magnesium sulphate per hectare 6-8 weeks after planting is recommended.
Zinc sulphate @ 25kg/ha may be applied 2 weeks after the fertilizer application.
After 6-8 weeks from first fertilizer application, urea may be applied at 275kg/ha.
Subsequently application of zinc sulphate in the nursery may be carried out on soil test basis.
Category III
Planting materials are divided into
- Those, which have held out promise of good performance
in small-scale trials, and over short term in some large scale trials in India or
abroad. Hence these are approved only for experimental planting
-
Old selections having promising localized performance or having desirable secondary
attributes. In regions where these clones are showing very good performance, no
restriction in planting is insisted. Modern clones with moderate scale performance
are included in division
- Other experimental clones
of promising yield and/or desirable secondary characters with limited data are included
in division
- Selections from any of these are recommended
for very small scale planting not exceeding 15 per cent of the total area
