Rationale

The rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, is believe to have originated in Central America
and was discovered by a European during the 16th century. When Christopher Columbus
went to Central America, he noted that the Indians of Haiti were using balls made out of a
gum from a tree. He later learned that the Indians made “water proof” shoes out of latex, the
milky white juice of the tree.

The plants can grow to a height of about 130 feet (39 meters). Although in other
places, it may grow to a height of about 60 feet or 18 meters only. Rubber trees grow best in
a warm and moist climate ranging from 70oF to 95oF (21-35oC) with an annual rainfall of 80
to 120 inches (2,000 – 3,000 mm) and at an elevation not more than 1,000 feet (300 meters).
However, some new clones can be profitability grown at elevation beyond 500 meters above
sea level (ASL). The young plants are raised in a nursery for about six to eight months, and
then transplanted to the field or plantation area in rows.

Normally after five to seven yeas, the trees shall have about 18-20 inches (45-50 cm)
circumference near the face, and are ready for tapping. Tapping can start on the 6th year after
planting and can continue to 40 years or even beyond depending on the kind of Management
for latex cloves and maybe earlier for latex timber cloves (LTC).
The Natural Rubber (NR) 70% goes to tree industry and construction works, 30%
goes to non-tree and rubberwood for floor tiles, furnitures, plywoods, cabinets, toys, etc.

Objectives

The Rubber Production in Luzon is new. The university, recognize the importance of
transfer of technology in improving the livelihood and quality of life of the smallholders and
their families. There are practical difficulties faced by those who are directly involved in
rubber extension services. The success and failures achieved by the National Rubber (NR)
producing countries in improving the livelihood of their smallholders would form a very
good basis for exchanging ideas and experiences among personnel involved in frontline
extension activities, rubber has a definite role play in poverty alleviation programme
involving farmers in tropical countries like Philippines.

The objectives of the projects

1. Show window to the farmers to encourage them in rubber production.

2. To enhance the transfer technology and ensure improvement in the livelihood and
quality of the life of smallholders and their families.
3. To produce good and healthy planting materials at the earliest time possible with less
expenses.
4. Purity of cloves from well-established and maintained budwood / source-bush garden.
5. The Center of Rubber tree technology in Quezon Province.
6. Income generation project of the University and research center.

Objectives of the Project (Research)

1. To document and assess the propagation and growth of rubber seeds and seedlings
under Quezon Province conditions;

2. To document and assess the growth and yield performance of rubber trees under
Quezon Province conditions;

3. To document the pest and disease problems that may affect rubber trees under
Quezon Province conditions;

4. To document and assess the problems (technical, economic, political etc.)

encountered during the process.

Project Description

A. Area – The area planned to Rubber plantation is 10 hectares, while budwood and nursery
is 1 hectares – this is the initial establishment of Rubber tree in district one (1) of Quezon
Province.

B. Location – The projects are located in two district place one is in Barangay Ayuti,
Lucban, Quezon, with in the area of SLSU-College of Agriculture, and the other place is
in Barangay Caldong Sampaloc, Quezon, where the plantation of rubber were establish.

Suitability of the Project

Rubber as a potential export crop, it is necessary to place it on a competitive basis.

Hence, soil fertility management and judicious fertilizer use must also be given primary
importance to realize optimum productivity.
 The climate for rubber is generally grown within the geographical zones by lying 10o
to 15o on either side of the equator for optimum growth and productivity, it requires warm
humid climate with temperature ranging from 20oC to 35oC with an annual rainfall of 2,000-
3,000 mm and elevation of 1,000-1,640 feet above sea level depend on clones, and the annual
solar radiation is 2,163 hours.

Generally, rubber can be grown on a wide range of soil type, it requires a fairy-deep
surface soil of at least 1.0 m and a moderately – to slightly – acidic soil reaction at pH 5.0-
6.8. Step slopes (less than 40%) can also be planted to rubber, provided contour planting is
adopted.

Fertilization must begin in the nursery to raise healthy and fast growing planting
materials that can reach tappable size earlier and to develop healthy stand of trees with long
productive life. The uniform growth of plants that can be budded within a short period,
thereby reducing the cost of maintenance and more successful budding in attain if have a
well fertilization program.

Establishment and management of nursery

A nursery offers the advantage of producing good and healthy planting materials at
the earliest time possible with less expense. Modern concepts of establishing a rubber
plantation take into consideration the earliest possible return of capital investment by using
will reduce the immaturity period of rubber based on the investigation of RRIM, shows that
the immaturity period of this plant can be reduced by standard nursery and field practices.
These nursery techniques complement other practices employed to produce planting
materials that will perform better in the field. Among these practices include having a good
soil medium, an appropriate size of polyethylene bags, and fertilization program during the
early growth of the plants.

In the culture of rubber, the raising of seedlings in poly bags and ground nurseries
then budding and planting in the field have been widely practiced worldwide. The
establishment of rubber plantation trough direct planting of seedlings as stocks then field
budding, including direct planting of bare rooted budded rubber stump to the ground or field
are no longer recommend practices in rubber plantation and management.

Management of germination beds

Selection of seeds. Select seeds that are fresh, heavy, and shiny. The root stock used
seeds of GT-I, PR 107, PB 260 and RRIM 600. The old seeds or with holes should be
discarded, and sow the seeds immediately in the germination bed upon delivery to avoid very
low percentage of germination.

Germination seed should be located in a flat or level area a water source. The size of
bed should be length will depend upon the number of seeds to be sown and raise the bed at
least 15 cm. from the ground level.

Use aged sawdust and fine river sand as germinating medium to minimize root
damage during transplanting. The medium should be at least 10 cm. thick.

Treatment of seeds before sowing

1. Crack the seed coat if it is necessary (water permeability is a problem especially

during the very early seed fall).
2. soak the seeds overnight
3. Sow rubber seeds in a 1m sq.m germination bed. This area can accommodate 2,000
seeds.
 4. Ideally seeds must be arranged in single layer touching each other with the prominent
mark downward.
5. The seeds should be pressed firmly into the bed until the top of the seed is on level
with the surface of the medium.

6. Cover the seeds thinly with germinator medium materials to prevent exposing the
seeds directly to sunlight.

7. Water the seeds once or twice a day (good seeds normally germinate in 5-7 days)

8. in 10-14 days, seedlings (without develop leaves yet) are ready for planting in a
polybags.

Pulling of Germinated Seeds or Seedling

1. water first the germination bed

2. prepare a pail half-filled with water

3. uproot the seedlings, which have fully developed root system but without leaves yet,
one by one and put inside the pail or container with water.

4. bring to the area to be planted in polybag.

Preparation of Nursery

The area should be cleared and clean

1. sizes of polybags needed may either be:

a. 6x12 inches # .003 – for young and early green budding 1-2 leaf – storey
planting materials.
b. 7x14 inches # .003 – for green and brown buddings 1-2 leaf –storey planting
materials

2. The perforated polybags are filled with soil media.

3. dig a shallow canal and arrange the polybags in east-west orientation if possible
single 24 inches wide, double row 36 inches wide.

4. plant the germinated seeds or seedlings in each bag and water regularly.

Fertilizer Application

In the absence of soil analysis, apply about 10-15 grams of 14-14-14 per seedlings per
bag every three to four weeks intervals, or dissolve one tinapa can of ammophos fertilizer 16-
20-0 to one kerosene can of water, and fertilize each seedling in bags at the rate of about ½
tinapa can (water with the dissolved fertilizer) at intervals of three to four weeks.

Replanting

Replace the missing hills or dead tree is usually done in the first and second year after
plantation establishment. The materials are poly bagged budding with the same age and
growth conditions with those earlier planted in the field. Replanting if possible should be
done with one year from establishment only. This is to reduce early growth variation in
height and girth.

Pruning

The purpose of pruning is to develop a smooth trunk without branches or large scars on the
stem/ trunk to a height of 2.5-3.0 m. from the ground level. This would result to
uninterrupted tapping later on. Pruning/cutting the top portion of the trees is not a
recommended practice.

Branch induction

Branch induction is made on trees at least two-three years old after planting using the
double blade ring-cut device. This is done by inserting the stem in the device above the
cluster of buds about 2.5 m. from the union. This can be done by turning the device around
the bark penetrating the wood. This is to induce more branches to grow. However, allow only
3-4 branches to develop.

Pest Diseases and their control

The appropriate control measures for rubber pest include the following: cultural;
physical and mechanical; biological; and integrated control, use pesticides only when there is
an upset of pest or when the pest population is very high.

Rubber can be affected by diseases which may become serious if left unchecked.
Early disease detection helps prevent their spread and damage both in rubber nurseries and
plantations.

Diseases that affect rubber are classified according to the part of the plant affected,
namely, foliar (Include nursery seedlings), stem or branch, panel and root diseases. Diseases
management can be accomplished by proper cultural and management practices and
whenever appropriate, by integrating fungicide if extremely necessary. Refer to rubber books
for pest and diseases and the corresponding recommended control measures.

Fertilizer and fungicide Application Schedule (optional)

Time of Application Rate and type of fertilizer – fungicide mixture

After planting 1-8 weeks Twice weekly application of foliar fertilizer and
fungicide mixture:
15 ml Bayfolan / others
10 g Dithane M-45 or
12 g Dacomil / others
5 liters water

2 – 5 weeks Weekly application of slurry

50g NPK Mg
(15:15:6:4) compound
5 liters water at 50 cc per bag

After cutback Weekly application of the above foliar fertilizer and

2 weeks onward fungicide mixture

After the first whorl of leaves (about 4 Weekly application of the above slurry
weeks)
Steps in Young and Green budding

1. Make two vertical parallel cuts.

2. Connect lower or upper portion of the parallel cuts.

3. With the use of the knife and the forefinger, open the resulting flap to expose the
budding panel and cut leaving only 1 can as a tongue.

4. Immediately extract the bud eye from the bud stick making a similar or a little bit
smaller incision made on the stock.

5. Insert the green bud patch beneath the flap of the stock.

6. Wrap or tape the grafted portion with transparent plastic tape starting from the bottom
going upward with the edges of the tape overlapping.

7. Tapes must be opened 21 days after budding. Green bud patch means success, brown
bud patches indicate failure.

8. Cut-back the successfully budded seedling at about 5-8 cm from the bud patch.

9. After the budded seedling is cut-back, budshoot will start to grow from one to two
weeks. This is bud activation period.

Hardening of Buddings Ready for Transport and Planting

Plantable budding are gradually exposed to sunlight before planting. The planting
materials are grouped into three sizes, such as: small medium and big sizes. Each group of
plants is planted together in the some area or rows to minimize early growth variation.

Establishment and Management of Immature Rubber

Land preparation – clearing, plowing, harrowing and basal application of organic and in-
organic fertilizer

Planting distance – should be use in this project is 2x3x10

Layouting in flat lands – rows of rubber are usually set at east-west orientation to obtain
maximum exposure sunlight. This is also to provide highway for major winds, the
east and west monsoon winds which help in drying the rubber trees.

Holing – size and shape of the hole would depend largely on the soil condition and planting
materials. The holes should be from 40-45 cm in diameter and 50-60 cm deep.
Holing must be done few days before planting.

Fertilizer Application

Ideally, fertilizer application should be based on the results of soil and tissue analysis.
However, in the absence of the above analysis, the following general recommendation using
the commercial complete fertilizer may be followed:
 Placement from the base or
Amount broadcast all over the area
Period after planting
14-14-14 around the base up to 4-5
meters radius
1 – 2 year 125 – 200 g / + / yr 30 cm
3 – 4 year 250 – 400 g /+ / yr 60 cm
5 – 7 year 500 – 600 g / + / yr 90 cm
8 – 10 year 500 – 700 g / + / yr broadcast
11 – 12 year 700 – 800 / + / yr broadcast
13 – and beyond 900 – 1000 g / + / yr broadcast

Weeds Control and Management

Weeds in rubber farms can be controlled by line weeding, slashing of weeds in the
entire plantation, round or ring weeding and the use of herbicides either in line weeding or
entire plantation. Weeds in the rubber areas must be minimized or controlled to prevent
stunted growth of the rubber trees and burning during the dry season. Cogon or cylindrica
imperate is enemy number one in rubber farming.

Marketing Aspects

SLSU
President

Agencies NGOs / farmers / Cooperatives / Cooperators

Proposed Project Organization

The target marketing for the rubber budding to be produced by this project includes
institutional and individual buyers. The institutional buyers are government agencies such as
the Department of Agriculture, Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Local
Government units and Cooperatives who are promoting rubber not only as a cash crop but as
reforestation materials which will provide not only adequate income to growers but also
protection to the soil and environment as a whole.

Individual buyers are the small rubber farmers who would like to acquire quality
planting materials do not want to wait for one year or more to grow their own material and
start a rubber farm. With the popularity and potential of rubber nowadays, there is actually
an acute shortage of rubber buddings. With price more than doubling to P25 / budding in just
about to eight months to two years.

Socio Economic

The demand for rubber is fueled by the rapid growth of China and India, the two most
populous countries in the world. This growth in turn raises the demand for motorized
vehicles which require rubber components. Rubber is also needed in the other industries of
these countries.

The Philippines is comparable to Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other agricultural

countries in Asia. For instance, the Philippines soil is generally fertile and more suitable to
natural rubber production, including the favorable climate condition aside from Mindanao.
In addition, the Philippines have already available labor force as evidenced by the thousands
of Filipino workers going abroad for work.

Rubber is considered a “bank” when a farmer starts generating income he will have
money for at least 30 years. The natural rubber has more than 50,000 uses discovered and
developed. It is now used in construction works such as bridges, roads and highways, and
high rise building as earthquake proofing. Although today its traditional use in the tree
industry is still about 70%. So far, rubber has no complete substitute. Rubberwood is now a
major material for furniture, tiles, plywood, playboard, etc. throughout the world. Rubber is
not perishable, like food crops. It can be harvested and marketed anytime, anywhere at any
form of products. It has so many industrial uses that could not be substituted. It is known
that as long as there are airplanes flying, there is always a need of natural rubber.

The Philippine rubber industry is not that far from other rubber producing countries
despite of the limited funding support, low priority commodity crop, and less attention given
by the government. Only, in terms of area expansion, promotion of technology and
dissemination of more information to improve the plight of specially the smallholders that is
quite slow. This is due to the emphasis or focus of government on other crops. At present,
the domestic consumption is between 120,000 – 185,000 tons annually, whereas the average
annual production is only from 65,000 – 70,000 tons. It is hope that by increasing the hectare
to 200,000 or more in 10-15 years, there will be generation of local employment, more
business opportunities, and dollars for the country.

The promotion and massive expansion of rubber areas is sure and stable source of
employment opportunity. This is because workers in rubber industry come from various
kinds of professions, from ordinary laborers, semi-skilled to skilled workers and from
technical to highly specialized kind of training and expertise.
