An attempt was made to manage TPD in the rubber plantations by removing the unproductive dry bark by successive tapping leaving the residual bark undisturbed. The combined activity of vascular cambium and residual bark lead to the process of bark regeneration. Renewed bark was tapped after two years and there was a continuous latex flow which indicated that the bark was productive. However the technique needs further refinement before recommendation for wide adoption.

Abstract

An attempt was made to manage TPD in the rubber plantations by removing the unproductive dry bark by successive tapping leaving the residual bark undisturbed. The combined activity of vascular cambium and residual bark lead to the process of bark regeneration. Renewed bark was tapped after two years and there was a continuous latex flow which indicated that the bark was productive. However the technique needs further refinement before recommendation for wide adoption.
