Species-site compatibility is a crucial factor in the establishment of forest plantations (ERDB, 2010). In the past, species trials conducted showed that different species have their own site requirements to attain optimum growth and development. Reforestation efforts also failed because species- site compatibility was not given proper consideration. The importance of species-site matching functions lies …

The training aims to guide would-be rubber growers/farmers/producers/trainers on how to improve the production of rubber from nursery to plantation to latex harvesting and primary processing and inform the trainees on the various industrial uses of rubber. The learning strategy that was used during the online training is synchronous. It is a real-time interaction among …
The intent of this project is to help improve the yield and quality of Philippine rubber latex and address the concern raised on incorrect tapping practices through the training of at least 5.7% (570) of the identified requirement of 10,000 additional competent local tappers on proper rubber tapping. Of the 570 target beneficiaries, about 12% …
Rubber production in the Philippines is intensively cultivated in Mindanao as its traditional area because of its favorable agro-climate. Owing to its lucrative value, some farmers invested in planting rubber across Luzon and Visayas or NTAs (locations where a commodity is not commonly grown and developed) regardless of the site-species compatibility. Gearing up towards increasing …
