Applying ethylene gas to the trunk of rubber trees will slow down the latex coagulation process, helping to yield more latex. This ethylene gas tapping method uses a gas application device to introduce ethylene gas to stimulate the tree. It stimulates the latex production process and slows down latex coagulation, making the latex flow more consistently. Learn about this rubber tapping technique now.

This method provides the best results among all latex extraction methods used so far, including traditional tapping. And it does not affect the growth of the rubber tree.

According to agricultural experts, ethylene is a plant hormone found in rubber.

♦ It plays a role in root development and participates in the functioning of the latex vessels.

♦ It stimulates the latex production process and slows down latex coagulation, making the latex flow more consistently.

To stimulate latex production, slow down the coagulation process, and help the latex flow more and longer, we use a gas application device to introduce ethylene gas into the tree.

Use a metering pump to adjust the amount of gas pumped into the tree according to your needs. With a metering pump, you can control the amount of latex flow and avoid weakening the tree.

Advantages of Ethylene Gas Tapping

Applying the ethylene gas application technique for latex extraction in rubber plantations offers many advantages.

Reduces the number of labor days for harvesting.

Harvesting can still be done on rainy days.

Doubles the lifespan of the tree.

Instead of tapping for latex at night, with the ethylene gas rubber tapping method, we can drill, puncture, scrape the bark, or collect latex during the day.

The tree grows better and produces leaves faster.

The tree does not lose bark and will provide good quality wood later.

The amount of latex can be adjusted to a suitable level or stopped from flowing.

Principle of Latex Extraction with Ethylene Gas

During the tapping of rubber trees, the more latex is extracted, the more the ethylene hormone decreases. The higher the hormone deficit, even after the regenerated bark layer forms again.

To overcome this situation, pumping more ethylene gas into the tree helps to replenish the hormone, aiding the tree in regenerating latex and restoring the latex vessels. Additionally, ethylene contributes to the growth of the rubber tree.

The Process of Ethylene Gas Tapping

In previous years, the results from the transfer of ethylene gas tapping technology showed promising signs. However, at that time, the cost was quite high, so it was not widely adopted.

To reduce costs, people used low-purity ethylene gas mixed with many other gaseous impurities. Such impurities negatively affected the rubber trees.

Pumping too much gas with a large application area, without changing the position, and continuously extracting large amounts of latex would harm the tree after only 3 months, leading to reduced latex production or what is known as dry tapping.

Therefore, the use of ethylene gas for rubber tapping during that period was very negative.

But today, the domestic market has produced lightweight and low-cost gas application devices.

The supply of high-quality, abundant pure ethylene gas brings very high economic efficiency.

How much does Ethylene Gas Tapping cost?

Currently, in the domestic market, if using a Vietnamese-made ethylene gas application device for rubber trees, the cost per application is about 100 VND per tree. The cost of ethylene gas is about 2,000 VND per tree per year.

With this cost level, compared to the advantages mentioned above that this method brings, it is truly too cheap to implement.

However, there are currently many types of latex stimulants sold on the market. These drugs originate from China and are in liquid form.

The price of this type of drug is very cheap, but it is not effective. Therefore, farmers should choose reputable addresses to buy guaranteed and quality products.

The ethylene gas drilling method for latex extraction has many advantages, bringing many benefits as well as high economic efficiency.

However, if not used correctly and technically, the tree will become exhausted and susceptible to disease. Therefore, farmers should research information and choose a reliable place to buy products.
