The area selected for rubber cultivation should be cleared of wild growth. Good drainage and suitable soil is required for rubber. Square planting is suitable for level and near level lands. Rectangular system with planting lines oriented in the East West direction can be adopted in flat lands and slopes. In undulating and hilly areas, planting should be done in rows across the slope along the contour lines. Along the rows, terraces of 2 m width must be formed. The planting density is 420 to 445 plants per hectare in the case of buddings. | SUSTAINABILITY OF RUBBER INDUSTRY IN MALAYSIA ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PERSPECTIVE Muhamad Thalhah Ab Karim Paper Presented at IRRDB-CATAS International Rubber Conference 18-19 October 2010 Hainan PRC CONTENT 1.
