Tapping Panel Dryness (TPD) is a physiological disorder affecting natural rubber production in Hevea brasiliensis. TPD is associated with clonal susceptibility and overexploitation of rubber trees. Most studies are based on a binary point view of the

In Thailand, the continuous decrease in the size of rubber plantations has led to the general adoption of intensive tapping systems which may lead to over harvesting, high rates of tapping panel dryness (TPD), short life-cycles of the plantations, and

Natural rubber (NR) is a renewable product, which plays an important role in the economy of producing countries. Hevea brasiliensis is the main source of NR. This cis-1,4-polysioprene is synthesized in the rubber particles of laticifers. These latex cells
