The province is also set for the next bidding of
rubber tree seedlings for those who will avail of the program.
In the preface for
Rubber Trees, Wong mentions the tropical rainforests of the South Seas as "a heaven of wild grass and trees, kingdom of fruits, and origin of myths." The "South Seas" (literal meaning: the "Southern Ocean") is a traditional Chinese name for the geographical region south of China, particularly Southeast Asia, which has an implication of cultural Sino-centrism.
The SOC was highest in
rubber trees 22-23 years of age, and lowest in early stages of growth, or unproductive
rubber trees, 4-5 years old.
Nache described the 10 years of hard labour, huge investment and hard work required to nurture the
rubber trees to maturity as a 'herculean task'.
Specimens were collected at 10 locations on the island, including natural old-growth forest as well as planted forests, mostly
rubber tree plantations.
Those constructed on Cypress 1, 2, 3 and 5th presented different types of exposure, whereas in old
Rubber trees just one type were marked 7th, presented by a great concealment case.
"In terms of performance, the material is on par or better than the material from
rubber trees," he says.
The 55-year-old Joseph, who has tapped
rubber trees for three decades, said he had lost Rs200,000 this year and that he would not resume tapping unless rubber prices rose to Rs150 per kg.
Fortunately, almost 2,000 plants besides
rubber trees produce rubber.
Approximately 118 species of mites of different families have been reported on
rubber trees in Brazil (Batista-Filho et al., 2011).
To compare the [[eta].sub.E] of each NR sample along the 23 tapping months and also in comparison to different
rubber trees, it was chosen the value of [[eta].sub.E] at [[epsilon] .sub.H] of 1.5.
