Powdery mildew disease of rubber tree
Forest Pathology, 2016SummaryPowdery mildew disease of rubber trees affects young rubber leaves, buds, inflorescences and other immature tissues reducing rubber latex yields by up to 45%. The disease is present in all rubber‐growing regions, with a high incidence rate in subtropical environments. The causal agent of powdery mildew disease of rubber trees was first described

Simultaneous selection of rubber yield and girth growth in young rubber trees
Industrial Crops and Products, 2013Abstract The importance of the rubber yield from the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is already well known. Recently, the importance of girth growth and consequently wood rubber tree has been emphasized. Genotypes with greater girth growth produce greater volume of wood.
