| Summary: | Integrated farming under rubber plantation is a
new agroforestry practice in Malaysia. It has lately
become more important due to the increasing demand for
food and raw materials as a result of increasing population and scarcity of land. Interplanting of rattan
under rubber can be one of the systems which can solve
the problem of insufficient supply of rattan. The
system has been introduced in the 1980 s with the aim of
maximising land use as well as to ensure sufficient
rattan supply to the industry. Al though the system is
now widely accepted by small holders and rubber plantation owners, the re ares till many problems related to
the cultivation and management aspects such as the
impacts of intercropping and the optimal fertilizer
regimes. |
