| dc.description.abstract | The paper reviews some of the latest findings on nutrition of Hevea and effects of fertilizer on latex properties. It also considers work on increased efficiency in use of fertilisers. The latter includes studies on effect of fertilisers on soil properties and availability of fertiliser residues. The use of appropriate covers and their management to increase their efficiency is considered. Additionally, the influence of the covers on the nitrogen nutrition of Hevea is discussed. The information available indicates that the applications of inorganic N fertilisers could be avoided for up to 8-109 years of tapping, with consequent economic benefits. | en_US |
