Abstract

Rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) is one of the most important agricultural industries in Malaysia. Its production provides the livelihood of large segments of the Malaysian population consisting of smallholders estate workers and their families. Being a complex agricultural system a model would help to organise available information or knowledge in order to identify gaps and direct future research in rubber based systems. It may also help in the process of dissemination of the technology to farmers as well as rubber planters. Hence an attempt is made to develop a model to predict the growth of rubber under different planting densities climate clones and management. Validation results show that the model is able to simulate growth (girth) from different range of environment and rubber clones from Malaysia with the modelling efficiency (EF) of 0.87.
