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.

 Disease eradication of trees Gum disease is often cause lack of economic in rubber plantations. kekuranganyang resulting not only in the form of yield loss due to damage trees, but also the costs incurred in an effort to control. Therefore, control measures in an integrated and efficient manner in order to minimize kekuranganakibat disease needs to be done. Over 25 types of disease causing damage to the rubber plantations. Usually treatments are performed each year as we have done on our rubber plantation is more than 6 years old, as follows:

1. Weeds and trees pengganngu cleaning land2. Keep tapping the system remains good and does not damage the stem kuilit3. Fertilizing twice a year, with NPK fertilizer (N = Nitrogen P = phosphate + + K = Potassium). To leaf nitrogen and potassium phosphate for thick stems and roots for4. Vitamin supplementation for the sap to the amplifier so that the more smooth, as the supplement: Supertan.5. Take care environment around the tree in order to keep generating enough sunlight intake6. Prune branches that are often onerous burden of rubber trees 

Supplements to the rubber tree:NPK fertilizer is often used because it has advantages such as improving the results of more than 40%, easily dispersed and immediately sink in, more sturdy stems and resistance collapsed, suitable for all kinds of tree, the soil becomes more fertile, nutrient available complete and balanced, made of quality, and safe for the environment.Regarding fertilization system for rubber production in each fertilization should use 50 Kg NPK mixed dg 10 Kg.Supertan then sprinkled on the tip of hairy roots of trees that had been prepared earlier in the hole.Benefits of the hole so the root end of the broken fibers and the fibers will grow new roots will quickly absorb the fertilizer and the fertilizer is not if it rains washed away, as well as supplies of fertilizer in the hole will be longer.
