RUBBER PLANTATION AND RAIN

mr. GOPUR
Hello friends, when I wrote the title above, surely the wonder? What is the relationship of rubber plantation and rain ?Rubber plantation and rain have a relationship very unique and interesting.
Any  time you walk in a rubber plantation area, try asking the rubber Farmers, what is the relationship of rubber plantatin and rain ?
Their answer is Definitely compact .... hehe




Farmers were not able to go nderes (
wounding of the Bark to get latex) And can not be money.
What is the reason only that?

I think, They can use an umbrella or a coat ...... 

When it rains the water will flow on to the field of rubber tree tapping and sap flow into the reservoir bowl.When the Farmers were working and suddenly the rain fell, then there is panic.latex which is so valuable to their threatened loss exposed to rain. 
They have sap that can make the thickener gum thickens, but the panic still clearly visible in the eyes of the peasants. The rain is a serious Threat to their income loss that day.

Another reasons, a soaking rain water tapping the field Causing the Threat of several diseases:
1. Lines Cancer is caused by jamur Phytophthora palmivora.This disease can be bumps or depressions in the former Areas of tapping long. 

The spread of the disease is through the spread of spores by rain and wind.
2 Mouldy rot

At first appear thin membrane, and then  this gray layer scraped spots brown or black. This attack will extend until the cambium and wood. if the attack is Severe, there will be decay in the skin of the sick. 
Mouldy rot Attacks occur in the Rainy season and high Humidity Areas. 
The spread of the disease is through spores that were flown by the wind and the tapping knife.
When  the rain falls, the farmer latex production will Decline sharply and cause rubber Farmers 'income decreased ............... ........... hehehe serious
rubber plantations and rain have a unique relationship, and I think God is already set up the this relationship.
I as a farmer can only hope for rain do not fall all day.




you have experience about this, please share it here

RUBBER TREE LIKE AUTOMATED TELLER MACHINES




MR. SUKAR
Right now a lot of rubber trees grown in Southeast Asia, one of Indonesia. latex from Hevea brasiliensis plant is obtained by wounding the bark is so thick, liquid which is then stored. This fluid outflow from the cell turgor pressure which is liberated due to injuries. The flow stops when all the cell contents had been "exhausted" and the wound closed by the frozen latex. latex discharge is very heavy when it's done penderesan in the morning, that's one reason why an employee is hard pack rubber plantation in South Sumatra Baturaja wake up early and went to work Menderes rubber tree.
Actually what the benefits of latex rubber?
Gum rubber is needed in the manufacture of tires, dampers for the automotive, foam mattresses, pencil erasers, and much more.
Indonesia, including three in the world, besides Malaysia and Thailand for the affairs of latex rubber, the potential of such a vast area, making Indonesia a chance making a lot of dollars from the sap of the rubber. Indeed, we admit, to affairs of plantation rubber latex productivity, we still lost by two neighboring Malaysia and Thailand. But it is not impossible we could at least match them.
The real problem is, can we hang the hopes of rubber plantation?
According to the author certainly very possible, although the age of harvest takes 5-6 years from first planting, but given the global thirst for natural rubber is so large, the authors are optimistic that the rubber tree is able to be quite lucrative source of income for small people.
Why Natural Rubber potential?
Simply this, we know that the competitors of natural rubber is synthetic rubber made from petroleum. The longer the oil will be more exhausted, as it is a natural resource that can not be renewed, and the price of oil would be higher uncontrollably.
While natural rubber is produced from the sap drawn from rubber trees, which must have the tree can always be updated.
Industries that require rubber, it will re-think to buy an expensive synthetic rubber prices due to raw material for synthetic rubber is petroleum is also expensive. Now the situation is certainly very profitable producer of natural rubber, which is actually a rubber plantation farmers.
The higher crude oil prices, the higher the price of rubber latex. This is the time for rubber farmers reap rizki, after decades of rubber farmers wait out oil reserves ...... hehehe
When I asked to Mr. Sukar an employee who worked on rubber plantations,
Sir what is the price of two weeks of dry rubber, plantation house sold? current price of Rp. 11 000, -/kg  he answered Rubber trees there are approximately 500 trees/ha.

Mr Sukar manage how many acres?
 
three hectares.
How the sap per month for one hectare?  

about 300 kilograms, he answered
Then the father how much salary? I can be one-third of the results. Yes if the harvest is 300 kg a month, I can be 100 kilogram as a tapper.
Most writers can not forget is when he says, that have a rubber plantation that has been harvested, now like having an ATM machine. Can take the money, anytime we want.
Wow, this incredible Mr. Sukar..... ATM machine ....... ......... hehehe 

author tried to open the calculator from the phone, push-push three hectares multiplied by 300 kg with 900 kg. when 900 kg multiplied by the selling price of Rp. 11 000, - equal to Rp. 9.9 million, - for tapping employees' salaries, 300 kg multiplied by Rp. 11 000, - equal to Rp. 3.3 million, -


For now this crisis, who is willing to give the salary of a primary school graduate who just like the pack is hard at Rp. 3.3 million ,-???
but it is very common we see in the agricultural area of rubber plantations today.
There is no ivory that is not cracked, all businesses must have constraints.
The authors concluded that several obstacles from the rubber plantation at this time:

    
* The waiting time of harvest for a long time, about 5-6 years.
    
* The plant is highly flammable, because it is highly flammable nature of rubber. So continue to be maintained, especially during the dry season.
    
* Pests that exist in the early stages of planting, such as disease, wild boar, monkey etc.. but after this plant was about three years, are relatively resistant to tampering.
    
* Fertilizer is more expensive.
    
* The most dangerous obstacle is, theft of latex rubber which is often done by the guards own garden, can also be by others. Understandably, they're expensive, stole 100 kg, was able to cash one of millions ... So the owner of the land should make strict control of the rubber plantation.
All the effort I thought there must be constraints.
if we really did, the obstacles can be overcome, have like a rubber plantation have automatic teller machines .... pull our money at will
Whew ... great yes

 
Who wants to have an ATM?
