           The story of the rubber tree is more than a century old. Today, it has become a major economic crop in the world. To change people’s lives, the contribution of the rubber tree is immense. Currently, rubber products are ahead of all products in the world. For decades, the rubber plant has remained a major plantation crop for that reason.

History of the rubber tree

The origin of the rubber tree is thought to have taken place in the Amerson Forest of South America. That is related to Brazil. This plant was found during an expedition of Christopher Columbus in the fifteenth century. But it is not rubber. It was a wonderful ball used by the Haitians to play with.

This wonderful toy ball was called ‘Cau Vu Ke’ by the Haitians. They believed that the ball was made from the sap of a weeping tree. Because of this, economic value was created for rubber.

François Pesto, a French engineer in the 18th century, identified this tree. It is also known by the scientific name “Hevea Brasiliensis“. Research on rubber has started since then. And in 1780, the first rubber research thesis was presented by Julius.

Factors required for the growth of a rubber plant

♦ Temperature around 27 degrees Celsius

♦ Rainfall above 2000 mm

♦ Moist laterite type crustal soil

♦ Nutrients of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, and sodium

♦ Extreme drought conditions

♦ Damage caused by rain

To avoid the adverse environmental conditions mentioned above,

1. Planting in contour lines
2. Construction of stone pillars
3. Preparation of drains and sludge pits
4. Mulching
5. Use of organic fertilizers

Ways of propagation of a rubber plant.

♦ Plant nursery

♦ Transplantation of plants

♦ Tissue implantation

♦ Bandage graft

♦ Green grafted plants

Specialty of the rubber plant.

The rubber plant belonging to the genus Euphorbiacel, the genus Hevea and the species Hevea Brasiliensis lives for about a hundred years. But the harvest can be obtained for about thirty years. Harvesting begins 5 years after planting. The rubber tree sheds its leaves from March to May. Rubber trees are not harvested until the new leaves emerge and mature. Milking is not advisable during periods of heavy rains.

Use of rubber as an intercropping.

Due to the rapid spread of rubber along with the introduction of rubber, land suitable for rubber cultivation was limited. As a result, rubber was cultivated during the same period of time in the lands where other crops such as coffee and cocoa were grown. This is considered to be the beginning of rubber intercropping.

Major rubber products

♦  Crepe rubber

♦  Pale Crepe

♦  Centrifugal latex

♦  Rebid smoke sheet

♦  Technically important rubber

♦  Specialty rubber


These are primary products made from rubber. These are also used for export and industrial production.
