TAPPING (Year 4 onwards)
Once the tapping begin, special formulated GroYield shall be started to use. This nutritional products contains all the essential macro and micro nutrients to ensure the proper growth and health of rubber trees.
This ensures that the immune system of the tree is at its optimal at all times and thus helps prevent diseases such as fungus, pink disease and diseases of the leaf which are all in some way connected to the lack of nutrients.
Latex yield of GroYield rubber plantations are generally more comparing to normal rubber plantations with DRC up to 32%.
A notable feature of the trees overall appearance as the leaves are greener, healthier and the tree bark is softer and thicker, which makes tapping so easy. Bark dryness can be fully prevented. Finally, the healthy trees have longer life span and excellent quality of rubberwood are obtainable in the end.




REPLANTING / REMOVAL
Every drop of latex has commercial value.
ATex is the effective stimulant to boost up and maximising the latex yielding for the final extraction of latex. Within 6 months, the rubber trees will be ready to be removed for harvesting its rubberwood, as well as for agriculture replanting purposes.
