Food Preferences of the Rubber Plantation Litter Beetle,Luprops tristis, a Nuisance Pest in Rubber Tree Plantations [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2009
Massive invasion of the litter dwelling beetle, Luprops tristis Fabricius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), numbering about 0.5 to 4 million per residential building following summer showers, and their prolonged stay in a state of dormancy, make them an extreme nuisance in rubber tree plantation belts of the Western Ghats in south India.

Transpiration characteristics of a rubber plantation in central Cambodia [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 2014
The rapid and widespread expansion of rubber plantations in Southeast Asia necessitates a greater understanding of tree physiology and the impacts of water consumption on local hydrology. Sap flow measurements were used to study the intra- and inter-annual variations in transpiration rate (Et) in a rubber stand in the low-elevation plain of central ...

Rubber, rubber and rubber: How 75 years of successive rubber plantation rotations affect topsoil quality?

Land Degradation & Development, 2022
AbstractRubber tree plantations (Hevea brasiliensis) cover large areas in the tropics. In historical producing regions like South Thailand, rubber has been planted by smallholders for three successive rotations lasting a total of 75 years. Despite possible consequences on topsoil, the long‐term impacts of repeated rubber plantations on soil quality ...
