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% …
Zamboanga del Norte shared 4% of the country’s total rubber production in 2010 where most of the rubber plantations are managed by Agrarian Reform Communities and only a few are managed by small individual landowners. The municipality of Tampilisan is the number one producer of rubber in Zamboanga del Norte. It is being planted all …

SOCCSKSARGEN, Cotabato is one of the top cup lump-producing provinces with a production of 173,110.31bmt in 2014 (PSA, 2014). Around 54,508.8 hectares are planted to rubber, which is recommended by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a better species for reforestation, not to mention its high agricultural value. Of which, 33,942 hectares. are …
The study explored the factors involved in the development of Tapping Panel Dryness (TPD) and Stem Bleeding (SB) in rubber as bases for the formulation of a comprehensive management strategy.
Identification of potential expansion areas for rubber is essential to increase local production and improve their quality while taking advantage of the market demand. A database on existing plantations of nine provinces in the Philippines identified as major production areas of rubber and cacao was developed. Using geographic information (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and other …
The program aimed to evaluate the adaptation and performance of recommended and other promising rubber clones in the Philippines in six different locations: (1) University of Southern Mindanao; (2) Central Mindanao University; (3) Western Palawan University; (4) Southern Luzon State University; (5) Isabela State University; and (6) Department of Agriculture Zamboanga Peninsula Agricultural Research Center. …
Functional genomics involves studies on how genes and intergenic regions of the genome contribute to different biological processes. This is translated to the development of gene-associated molecular markers for utility in rubber production and breeding. Through functional genomics and bioinformatics, gene markers were generated using two approaches: a) genome filtering using methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes and …
