We investigated the variability in resin production of a pine stand in Bosscha Observatory Bandung (Indonesia) with the aim to exploit this natural resource in a sustainable way. The potential resin productivity of the pine stand in observatory bosscha area has been known. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the use of methods (quarre and drill method) in pine resin productivity. The tapping method resulted in differences in resin production in 20-25 year-old trees. The production of extracted with the quarre method was 19.34 g treeG 1 , meanwhile, the drill method resulted in 32.64 g treeG 1. The potential annual resin production in bosscha observatory area were 9.29 and 15.640 t yearG 1 for quarre and drill method, respectively. The resin production capacity of pine species (P. merkusii Jungh. Et de Vriese) were affected by tree diameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
