Effect of different water stress with superabsorbent (S.A.P) treatment on growth of PB350 clone (Hevea brasiliensis) / Mohamad Ashraf Zaini
Hevea brasiliensis, traditionally grown in humid tropics characterized by high year round rainfall. However, due to an increase in the world's demand for rubber, future plants in dry areas characterized by water will be established. This research gives a detail about the effect of different wat...
