Induction of branches
It has been observed that to achieve a high rate of girth increase, the rubber plant
should produce branches at a height of about 2.5 to 3.0 m from the ground. In high
branching trees, girth increment has been found to be poor compared to low branching
trees. Some plants show a tendency for high branching, particularly clones like
RRIM 600 and GT 1. In such cases branching has to be induced by encouraging a few
lateral buds to develop. Double blade ring cut device and the leaf cap method can
be utilized for this.
