Item Acclimatization of micropropagated plants of Hevea(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 1993) Seneviratne, P.; Wijesekera, G.A.S.; De Soysa, G.M.In vitro produced Hevea shoots were successfully acclimatized to outdoor conditions by controlling the ambient conditions, mainly the humidity. Shooots, longer than 5 cm and with some leaves attached performed better. Shoots without roots produced shoots soon after their transfer to soil and the root development and the acclimation succes was better than in the rooted shoots. Use of a concentrated auxin solution, to soak the bases of the shoots or to incoroperate into soil improved root induction. The growth of the aerial part and the root system of the micropropagated plants were comparable to those of embryo cultured plants, up to one year of growth, but the field performance is yet to be monitored.Item Adaptability of recently recommended rubber clones for agro-climatic variability of Sri Lanka(Rubber Research Institute :Agalawatta, 2005) Withanage, S.P.; Attanayake, D.P.S.T.G.; Karunasekera, K.B.A.Item Adoption of different tapping systems in the rubber industry of Sri Lanka with special reference to low frequency tapping(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2007) Rodrigo, V.H.L.Item Adoption of technologies in immature rubber holdings. a case study in the Kalutara district(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatte, 2004) Wijesuriya, W.; Abeywardena, V.; Guneratne, R.B.Item Agricultural extension and the farmer(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka:Agalawatta, 1992) Dayaratne, W.C.Item Agronomic and economic benefits of high density banana intercropping during the immature period of rubber with particular emphasis on smallholders(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2000) Rodrigo, V.H.L.; Stirling, C.M.; Samarasekera, R.K.; Kariyawasam, L.S.; Pathirana, P.D.Item Agronomic and economic viability of rubber (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.

Year to year variation in both sites was mainly due t linear component of growth. Growth of individual clones too was mainly due to linear effect. But some clones in one site showed significant quadratic and or cubic component. This was due to non linear growth of plants in some plots. Ten clones have been groued (a) according to the when averaged over four years so that clones within a group have the same average girth and (b) on the gradient of the regression fitted to the girth measurement increasing over the four years. RRIC 52 had the fastest growth in both sites. RRIC 103 had the same growth rates in both sites suggesting that it has a greater stability to local environmental changes.Item Analysis of ranking exercises in participatory rural appraisal (PRA). a case study from the smallholder rubber sector(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2005) Wijesuriya, W.; Thattil, R.O.Item Application technology:knapsack sprayers in the management of rubber nursery diseases(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2010) Fernando, T.H.P.S.; Wijerathna, C.Item Attributes of the bark cracking disorder in the root stock of bud grafted rubber (Hevea) trees(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2007) Pathiratna, L.S.S.Item The automotive industry and the lowest cost producer. an evolving global concept(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka:Agalawatta, 1993) Samarappuli, I.N.Item Bark cracking disorder in the lower trunk region of seedling and in the root stock of bud grafted trees of Hevea brasiliensis Muell.Arg(2006) Pathiratna, L.S.S.; Seneviratna, P.; Perera, M.K.P.; Balasooriya, C.K.Item Beyond the latex. entry of rubber tree into the carbon market after 100 years of research and development in Sri Lanka(Rubber Research Institute of Sri Lanka:Agalawatta, 2009) Munasinghe, E.S.; Rodrigo, V.H.L.Item Biochar and its potential uses in rubber plantations(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2010) Dharmakeerthi, R.S.Item Biocontrol of plant diseases - possible biocontrol approaches against white root disease of rubber(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 1996) Jayasuriya, K.E.Item Biological control of Rigidoporus microporus, the cause of white root disease in rubber(2007) Jayasuriya, K.E.; Thennakoon, B.I.Item Biological control of the diseses of the Hevea rubber tree(1984) Peries, O.S.; Liyanage, A.de S.
