Abstract:Hevea rubber farm is viable for agroforestry systems since its canopy lessens extreme weather conditions and contributes to the adaptation of shade-tolerant plants. However, some limitations in the availability of soil water and shades vary with the age of rubber trees and affect the understorey plants’ acclimatization. Tropical palms are potentially associated plants for the rubber-based agroforestry systems because they are rainforest species adaptable to understorey environments. Two rubber farms, ages 12 a… Show more
