THE NEW PLANTING IN RUBBER PLANTATION
The following described photo operation in the field from land clearing until tapping which can be used by investor as guidance to open a new planting as benchmarking It is shown calculation cost to maturity ( cost from land clearing until immature 5 ) man power planning which is prepared to support the project
Photo 1 : Blocking areal by road
Before land clearing to be easier to control the next field operation is done blocking. Size of blocking in rubber block is between 30 – 40 ha . After the work of blocking is continued to make the road having wide 6 meters
Photo 2 : Upkeep road
Upkeep of road is done both by manual and grader if met low land must be dug a drain. Principle of upkeep road is no water haltingly in the surface of road. Water must flow to the drain immediately.bo
Photo 3 : Cut and fill

Photo 4 : Pulling stum and ripping
Stumps are pulled out and stacked in the direction North to south by bulldozer. Depth of ripping is 50 cm. All of roots having diameter minimal 1 ( one ) cm pulled out from land collected manual. Areal must be free from remaining root which can develop as root disease if no treatment.
Photo 5 : Mechanical stacking
Tree stumps were stacked and collected in the inter row together root collection. Distance inter stacking depend on density of tree. Normally is 25 – 50 m . Wide of stacking is maximum 4 meters. Stump of jungle tree and invaluable wood were stacked in the row in the new planting The hopefully all of invaluable wood will be decomposed naturally during immaturity period
Photo 6 : Plowing I
