Rubber Cultivation for Increased Yield and Sustainability-The "Golf" advanced populationThe Need In the rubber industry, optimizing latex production while ensuring the sustainability of rubber-producing plants is essential. Rubber farmers face challenges such as fluctuating market demands, environmental pressures, and the need for consistent yield levels. To meet these challenges, there's a growing demand for innovative solutions that enhance rubber plant productivity and resilience. The Technology Our pioneering technology involves the selective interbreeding of the largest rooted rubber plants within the Foxtrot population, cultivated under field conditions. Through meticulous breeding techniques, we've successfully augmented the mean root size from approximately 2.6 grams of fresh weight to a remarkable 4.5 grams. This significant increase in root size holds tremendous potential for revolutionizing rubber cultivation practices and boosting latex production. Commercial Applications
