Item A study on different micro-irrigation techniques for mitigating water stress of immature rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plants(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2017) Nakandala, S.A.; Nayanakantha, N.M.C.; Seneviratne, P.; De Alwis, M.N.; De Zoysa, D.L.N.Item Acclimatization of micropropagated plants of Hevea(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1993) Seneviratne, P.; Wijesekera, G.A.S.; De Soysa, G.M.In vitro produced Hevea shoots were successfully acclimatized to outdoor conditions by controlling the ambient conditions, mainly the humidity. Shooots, longer than 5 cm and with some leaves attached performed better. Shoots without roots produced shoots soon after their transfer to soil and the root development and the acclimation succes was better than in the rooted shoots. Use of a concentrated auxin solution, to soak the bases of the shoots or to incoroperate into soil improved root induction. The growth of the aerial part and the root system of the micropropagated plants were comparable to those of embryo cultured plants, up to one year of growth, but the field performance is yet to be monitored.Item Accumulation of free proline in bark and latex of Hevea brasiliensis affected by brown bast(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1986) Wickramasinghe, S.I.; Yapa, P.A.J.; De Soysa, T.V.W.Free proline accumulation in clone RRIC 101 of Hevea brasiliensis was investigated. The bark and the latex samples collected from both healthy and brown bast effected trees were analysed for free prline content. The average bark proline concentration/unit present in the brown bast trees was found to be considerable higher (P = 0.10) than that of healthy trees. The accumulation of free proline in latex was found to be significant in brown bast trees.Item Adaptability of recently recommended rubber clones for agro-climatic variability of Sri Lanka(Rubber Research Institute .

J.Item An attempt to validate molecular and field level screening results for the Corynospora leaf fall disease in rubber (Hevea brasiliensis)(Rubber Research Institute:Agalawatta, 2020) Tharanaga, W.A.D.R.; Withanage, S.P.; Kumara, K.L.W.Item An analysis of growth patterns of Hevea clones(Rubber Research Institute. Agalawatta, 1988) Margret, H.A.W.; Abeyasekera, S.; Jayasekera, N.E.M.Four girth measurements collected over four years, before tapping from ten Hevea clones grown in two sites have been analysed to study the growth pattern. Year to year variation in both sites was mainly due t linear component of growth. Growth of individual clones too was mainly due to linear effect. But some clones in one site showed significant quadratic and or cubic component. This was due to non linear growth of plants in some plots. Ten clones have been groued (a) according to the when averaged over four years so that clones within a group have the same average girth and (b) on the gradient of the regression fitted to the girth measurement increasing over the four years. RRIC 52 had the fastest growth in both sites. RRIC 103 had the same growth rates in both sites suggesting that it has a greater stability to local environmental changes.Item Analysis of ranking exercises in participatory rural appraisal (PRA). a case study from the smallholder rubber sector(Rubber Research Institute.
