Rubber Plantation

Hi
Rubber
Agro-climatic Requirements
Humid tropical climate prevails in the rubber-growing tract. Average annual rainfall in the tract varies from about 2000-4500 mm. The southern parts of the traditional tract enjoy southwest and northeast monsoons almost equally while the northern areas receive mostly the southwest monsoon. From south to north the drought period extends from two to five months in a year and the distribution of rainfall becomes more uneven. However, variation in temperature and humidity in the rubber tract is not so marked as that of the rainfall. The temperature remains very warm and humidity very high throughout the year.
You can contact the rubber board.

Ashwini

Wynad is good
Wynad is good for rubber except that on very steep slopes you may face a problem of accessibility. If you have labour who are willing to labour then no problems. How many acres you planning to plant? As you may know it takes about 7 years for your production to start. Some improved clones with "good management practices" can yield withing 5 and half to 6 years. In 7 years time it is difficult to predict what would be the labour situation because it is already difficult to find good tappers who are willing to adopt better practices.
