Main Terms of Rubber Plants Grow

Main Terms of Rubber Plants GrowBasically the rubber plants require the terms of climatic conditions for growth and soil conditions as the growth media.

• Climate

Areas 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.

• Rainfall

Rubber 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 places

Basically 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.

• Wind

Wind speed is too fast in general is not good for rubber cultivation

GroundDry land for the growth of rubber plants in general require more physical properties of soil as compared with their chemical properties. This is due to the chemical treatment of soil to grow crops in accordance with the terms of rubber can be implemented more easily than with improved physical properties.

Different types of soil can grow plants in accordance with the terms of either rubber young and old volcanic soil, even on peat soil <2 m. Volcanic soils have a fairly good physical properties, especially the structure, texture, sulum, depth of soil water, aeration and drainage, but their chemical properties are generally poor due to low haranya content. Usually quite fertile alluvial soil, but the physical properties, especially drainage and poorly aerasenya. Soil reaction ranges from pH 3, 0 - pH 8.0 but did not fit at pH <3.0 and> 8.0 pH. Soil properties are suitable for rubber plants in general are:- Sulum ground to 100 cm, there are no rocks and rock layers- Aerase and adequate drainage- The texture of the soil crusts, and can withstand water poreus- The structure consists of 35% clay and 30% sand- Turf Land no more than 20 cm- The content of NPK nutrients and not enough of micro nutrient deficiencies- Reaction of the soil with pH 4.5 - pH 6.5- The slope of the land <16% and- Surface soil water <100 cm.
