How to Select a Good Rubber

Rubber material that is suggested plant material propagated clones grafting. Compared with seedlings seedlings, the use of clonal planting material is very advantageous because the higher productivity of plants, the plants do not produce faster, more uniform plant so that production in the first tapping higher secondary as well as having the desired properties such as relatively resistant to certain diseases, stem robust , responsive to stimulants and fertilizers, as well as high volumes of timber per tree.

Rubber Plant Morphology

Observations made visually by observing the typical characteristics of each clone. With this technique required a distinctive feature recognition capabilities through intensive training. The characteristics of the observed morphology can be viewed at:
Morphological Characteristics of Differentiating Clones for Rubber No. Part of Plant Morphological Characteristics of Rubber A. Rod (ages 10-18 months) The characteristics observed were: a state of growth, erectness rods, and rod shapes. 2. Leather Trunk (was brown) The characteristics observed were: cork skin complexion, skin color and Lenti cork cells.

"White root fungus is caused by one of Rigidiporus Microporus or malignancies of the rubber plant that can cause death and a negative effect on production. Thus the rubber planters should be more intensively supervise the rubber plant, "please Kaltim Etanawati Head Plantation.According to him, this type of fungus attacks the roots of riding as well as lateral roots that can cause death of plants with very high intensity, especially at the rubber plant that has been aged two to four years.

Indonesia Potential to become the world's leading producer

Indonesia has a huge potential to become the world's leading producer of natural rubber. In addition to climate and environment that meets the requirements for growth and development, Indonesia also has a relatively large workforce. Large areas and that many workers do not provide optimal results when not supported by the willingness and ability of the application of technology.

Rubber as an industrial raw material requires a good quality assurance systems, typically based on the determination of the quality of end product testing. This system has many weaknesses of which are not yet able to guarantee contamination-free and consistent.

The Growth of Indonesia's Natural Rubber Exports

The growth of Indonesia's natural rubber exports

Indonesia's natural rubber exports growth over the last six years (2000-2005) is about 7.96%. The growth of Indonesia's natural rubber exports tend to be stable, while the value of exports fluctuated as they relate to the export price of rubber. Indonesia rubber export price is highly dependent on international natural rubber prices, supply and demand. and competitiveness of Indonesia's natural rubber exports in comparison with exports from other exporting countries, like Thailand and Malaysia.

Mixed Rubber Plantation Management System

Average tapped rubber plantations began at the age of 10-15 years. Slash and methods used for the maintenance of rubber plantations is a method of slash and clearing the hall with the frequency of irregularities. Since the last 3 years, the people doing an intensive cleaning of the garden in an old rubber plantation to plant rubber with insertion system.
Most of the rubber farmers in this village own initiative to make rubber nurseries (private owned) to meet the needs of rubber planting in the garden each. Plant species are allowed to live in the garden include Medang, chelates, meranti, jelutung and other economic types. Farmers tend to maintain some economically valuable tree species such as kempas, keranji, meranti, jelutung, chelates.

Rubber and its Contents

Rubber is a hydrocarbon polymer latex is contained in some plant species. The main source of production of rubber in international trade are or Hevea brasiliensis (Euphorbiaceae tribe). Several other plants also produce latex with a slightly different properties of rubber, such as ara-member tribe araan (eg fig), brown-sawoan (eg gutta percha and brown manila), other Euphorbiaceae, and dandelion. During World War II, these sources are used to fill the vacancy of the rubber supply. Now, gutta-percha used in medicine (guttapercha), while the tan manila commonly used latex for chewing gum (chicle). Rubber industry can now be produced synthetically and became rivals in the rubber industry.

Types and Various kinds of Rubber

Natural rubber in the world 70% is produced in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Natural rubber obtained from Hevea brasiliensis rubber tree tapping a liquid rubber called latex. Rubber is needed in their daily lives ranging from household to industrial needs. Mostly used in the manufacture of rubber hoses and tires (about 50% more).

Types of rubber:Crepes originated from latex, rubber lump, or RSS of low quality. How to make it similar to the RSS different is to remove the dark brown color of dry rubber. Then the result is a white rubber grinding machine using a sheet of thin crepes pengiling.
