t0“Effect of Late Upward Tapping on the Productivity of the Metabolically Active Hevea brasiliensis Clone PB 260 in Southwestern Cote d'Ivoire”
e1“The results show that the different latex harvesting technologies improve the rubber productivity of PB 260 (5469 kg.ha-1.yr-1) with a low dry-nut rate (1.2%) and satisfactory radial vegetative growth (3.9cm.yr-1)”
e4“Late reverse tapping is therefore a good latex harvesting technology for improving rubber productivity after down tapping”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Latex harvesting technologies gave a low dry-nut rate of 1.2% in PB 260.
- Observation Latex harvesting technologies gave satisfactory radial vegetative growth of 3.9 cm per year in PB 260.
- Observation The physiological profile of the trees was balanced.
- Observation The tapping treatments significantly influenced the physiological and growth parameters, except sucrose.
- Intervention effect Trees bled in S/4U d3 gave better results, with high yield and an acceptable dry notch rate.
- Recommendation Late reverse tapping is a good latex harvesting technology for improving rubber productivity after down tapping (authors recommendation).
