Crop Management

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

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. Other experimental clones of promising yield and/or desirable secondary characters with limited data are included in division
  4. Selections from any of these are recommended for very small scale planting not exceeding 15 per cent of the total area
