Early identification of immature rubber plantations using Landsat and Sentinel satellite images
International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and GeoinformationEarly identification of rubber plantations holds significant importance for both optimal plantation management and scientific studies. Even though remote sensing techniques for mapping rubber plantations have evolved considerably since the 2000s, current

Pararamosis: Disease of the Rubber Plantations. [PDF]
Am J Trop Med Hyg, 2021 ABSTRACTPararamosis is a medical condition, described in the latex extracting areas of the Amazon (rubber tree regions), resulting from contact with the caterpillar of the Premolis semirufa moth. The disease can present itself in an acute form—similarly to other erucisms (injuries caused by moth larvae in humans)—or in a chronic form, typically ...
