Performance of Hevea brasiliensis on Haplic Acrisol soil as affected by different source of fertilizer.

Rubber has been planted widely in South East Asia since more than a century ago. Rubber usage has been discovered and developed for various usages. This situation induces demand for natural rubber to increase steadily . Nitrogenous fertilizer is very important in growing stage. This study will prov...
