How to Take the Rubber

Taking Rubber

Menderes or in Java (Indonesia) known as the tap is the result of the activities taking rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) using a special knife in the trunk of rubber latex that can be taken. activities can be carried out at a rubber plant that has been aged five years, conducted in the morning, the morning the more latex that came out.  done by cutting the phloem vessels so that the latex out a lot, in the morning, because it has high humidity so that the leaf turgor pressure becomes high, which in turn makes more phloem vessels and that's when we start cutting Menderes or phloem vessels, resulting in the production a lot of latex. It should be noted that the quality of every day knives deresnya always sharp. Taking rubber is an art, because not everyone can , one-one instead of rubber to be damaged.

The Benefits of Rubber Seeds

" The Benefits of Rubber Seeds "

There are many benefits that can be taken with the use of rubber seeds that never dioleh and specially developed, especially in the province of Jambi. In general, the diktahui by simply taking the sap from the rubber rod or often called a tap. In fact, things - things to know in the process of tapping less known to the public, so the quality of rubber produced less good.If we look at the composition of rubber seed oil contains so much, there should be a better utilization of the processing of rubber seeds. With a land area of ​​rubber plantations in Jambi province, then it certainly can be easily overcome the energy crisis of its own in an increasingly haunting. Especially with the shadow - the shadow that the energy derived from fossil was not reliable anymore. As for some of the alternative energy produced from the raw material of rubber seeds is as follows.These materials can be sourced from the waste to be utilized in the manufacture of charcoal briquettes. One of the waste material is shell rubber seed oil. The process of making charcoal briquettes from rubber seed shell as follows:

a. Prepare the starting material for the manufacture of rubber seed shell biobriket that has been milled with a hammer mill.Therefore, these conditions must be balanced with efforts BioEnergy innovation fuels that have a better quality than biobriket. The quality is basically the parameter values ​​can be measured from the burning of calories and pollutant gas emissions.

The Selected Land for Rubber Planting

Basically the rubber plants require the terms of climatic conditions for growth and soil conditions as the growth media.
ClimateAreas suitable for rubber plants is on the zone between 150 and LS 150 LU. Beyond that somewhat hampered the growth of rubber plants that began production too late.RainfallRubber plant requires optimal rainfall between 2,500 mm to 4,000 mm / year, with rainy days ranges from 100 to. 150 HH / year. However, if frequent rain in the morning, the production will be reduced.
High placesBasically the rubber plants grown in optimal lowland with an altitude of 200 m above sea level. Altitude> 600 m from the sea surface is not suitable for growing rubber trees. Optimal temperature range between 250C required to 350C.

Rubber Marketing

Rubber is an export commodity that is able to contribute in the efforts to increase foreign exchange Indonesia. Indonesia rubber export since 20 years ago increased from 1, 0 million tons in 1985 to 1.3 tons, in 1995 and 2.0 million tons from 2.2 million tonnes of rubber production in 2005, so that foreign exchange earnings from rubber commodity in the first half of 2006 reached U.S. $ 2.0 billion.
 
The area of ​​rubber plantations in Indonesia reached 3.2 million ha in 2005, mostly scattered in Sumatra and Kalimantan, of which 85% is rubber.
Rubber prices improved at this time should be a momentum that can push
acceleration, improvement and rejuvenation of the rubber is less productive by using a clone - a clone superior cultivation and other technological improvements.

To enhance the role and competitiveness of rubber, an effort that must be done through improving the quality of the material if the rubber. On the basis of these things the government has established Guidelines for Materials Processing and Marketing Sports Rubber (BOKAR).

 To control the price of rubber in the international market. The three countries agreed to form the International Tripartite Rubber Council (ITRC) is the organization that regulates the supply (supply) and demand (demand) that affect the world rubber price fluctuations, said Director General of Plantations Achmad Mangga Barani in Jakarta. Mangga Barani said Indonesia set a floor price or the lowest benchmark level of U.S. $ 1.6 per kilogram, and the tripartite agreement has been running since six years ago, while the benchmark price related evaluation per year. If the price falls below the level of U.S. $ 1.6 per kilogram (kg), the three countries will simultaneously reduce the production and supply to world markets, obviously Mangga Barani. He said if rubber prices below U.S. $ 1.6 per kg then there should be no country that sells. Current prices are in the range of U.S. $ 3.2 per kg, so the three countries are free to sell their products. Thus, Manggabarani said, when the price is below the benchmark, then the three countries joined the International Tripartite Rubber Council or the ITRC was not allowed to sell gum, and even take action to reducing the production of rubber. It was to keep the price of rubber in the international market is down, he said.

Rubber Industry Background

Rubber Industry  Background

Basically can be derived from natural rubber from the sap of the rubber tree(Or known as latex), and the production of human (synthetic). When the wounded rubber tree, the sap produced will be so much more. The main source of latex rubber is the rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae). Asia is currently a source of natural rubber. Rubber beginning to live only in South America, but now it is successfully developed in Southeast Asia. The presence of rubber

in Southeast Asia thanks to the services of Henry Wickham. this time, Asian countries produce 93% of natural rubber production, which is Thailand's largest, followed by Indonesia, and Malaysia.When Christopher Columbus and his entourage discovered America in 1476, they are amazed to see the ball played by the Indians who can rebound when dropped to the ground. This is where the rubber starts history, but only in the year 1530 there is a written report on Gummi optimum, called Pietro Martire d'Anghiera for rubber. The ball was made of a mixture of roots, wood, and grass, mixed with a material (latex) and then heated above the bed and rounded like a ball. Oran Indian ball can bounce higher than a ball made of common people of Europe at that time. In 1615 a writer, F.J. Torquemada Mexico reported that the Indians made of waterproof shoes or rubber latex material. Fresnau a French expert reported that many plants that can produce latex or rubber, of which the type of Hevea brasiliensis, which grows in the Amazon jungle in Brazil who is now a major rubber-producing plants and is cultivated in Southeast Asia is a major rubber producer in the world today .

 Countries actually do not need to increase the national rubber planting hectarage. Because the land of rubber Indonesia is the largest in the world, which is 3.4 million hectares (ha). Chairman of the Estates Strategic Sustainable Development Forum (FP2SB), Achmad Mangga Barani, said the increase in productivity become a major emphasis.Indonesia rubber production is still less than Thailand which became number one with production of 2.6 million tons. National rubber productivity is still low with an average of only 0.8 tons perhektare (ha)."There are still small compared to other Southeast Asian countries, Malaysia and Thailand, which had reached 1.5 to 1.7 million tons of thoughtful," he said at Hotel Kartika Chandra, Jakarta, Monday (26/9).While the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Krisnamurthi, said the national rubber productivity is still below one ton is very unfortunate. He explained there are two other factors must be considered to improve the competitiveness of Indonesian rubber.

Naturalrubber (NR) prices and

Naturalrubber (NR) prices, which peaked at over RM10.10 a kg in June last year, could top the price this year, due to sapping tree production, low inventory, political instability in Thailand and high prices of synthetic rubber.

NR Prices

A Penang-based trader said NR prices such as for SMR 20 are fast rising due to the on-going wintering season which dampens latex flow as well as a recovering global demand for rubber-based products such as tyres and condoms.

"NR prices are on the rise and are eyeing a new high, its first climb in 18 months and may surpass RM10 a kg in the near term," the trader told Business Times in a phone interview.

Rubber Plantation

Has a rubber plantation business is related to the natural conditions and the ability of the rubber tree itself in producing sap. Of course the main task of caring for a rubber plantation is how to keep the rubber trees remain healthy and productive in generating.Maintenance of treesGeneral maintenance performed on the rubber tree plantations include weed control, fertilization and eradication of tree diseases. 

1Handled of weedsrubber acreage, both immature trees or trees already producing such weeds must be free of weeds, Mekania, Eupatorium, etc. so that trees can grow well. 

2.Program fertilization In addition to the base that has given fertilizer at planting, fertilizing program on an ongoing basis on rubber trees should be done with a balanced dose administration twice a year. Fertilization schedules on which I semeseter in February and in the second semester is July . A week before fertilization, gawangan first raked and cleaned the disc tree. Granting SP-36 is usually done two weeks in advance of Urea and KCl.

Rubber tree is best grown in tropical climates. Rubber farming can be a very lucrative business. Hevea brasiliensis or Para Rubber Tree is simply called as rubber tree. Life of a rubber tree is more than 100 years, however the economical life of rubber tree is about 32 years. Rubber trees convert inorganic nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, into organic carbohydrates which are then turned into rubber latex. Once the latex production becomes uneconomical, the trees are cut and replaced with new ones. Rubber plantation is a sustainable source of rubber as well as timber, contributing positively to the environment.

The structure of the vessels in rubber wood permits easy and effective preservative treatment.

Eventually, rubber trees were found to grow well in the European colonies in Asia. French Indo China, (Viet Nam), Thailand and Hynan Island off the China coast.
