Revolutionary breakthrough for Latex Tapping Technology and it is the only Two-in-one Solution for Rubber Trees to Cure Bark Dryness and to Increase Latex Yield.

Decades of Extensive Scientific Research and Development has resulted in breakthrough invention of VITEX, which provides the following benefits;

  • Cures and prevent bark dryness
  • Increase dry rubber content (DRC)
  • Enhance production of latex
  • Promote health of rubber trees
  • Rejuvenates tree barks
  • Lengthens tree life
  • Cost effective

Unlike stimulants in the market which only claim to give  more Latex and ultimately kills your tree’s health and life. VITEX helps the planters & the plantation.

VITEX has been formulated by ex-researcher of Institute of Rubber Research Malaysia who has more than 30 years of experience. VITEX has been tested scientifically for about 7 years plus on more than 4000 hectares of rubber estates.

On application of VITEX in the recommended frequency you can see immediate results which will show improvement in the following areas

  • Dry Rubber Content (DRC)
  • Prevention of Dry Bark
  • Overall improvement in the health of the Rubber Tree  
  • Substantial increase in latex production.

Recommended Usage

  • One application of VITEX should be about one gram only.
  • Tapping should be done 24 hours after the application of VITEX
  • For normal trees (Healthy Trees) application of VITEX should be once in 10 Days.
  • For Sick Trees or Untapped Trees application should be undertaken once in 5 Days. Until the tree shows substantial improvement in the Overall health.
  • Do NOT apply VITEX during rainy season which might show clogging of the latex on the tree due to moisture.
  • VITEX is recommended during Wintering Period. Do NOT tap during this period.

Cures & Prevention of Bark Dryness
Dryness of tapping panel (groove) takes place over a period of time in the course of over-exploitation of rubber trees. This is further aggravated due to tapping on rainy days. Also, some cloned trees are more prone to dryness especially BD and PB clones. Initial Symptoms are an increased yield of watery latex, followed by dry portions of the tapping cut which are darker in color than normal.

At present, the remedy is to rest the affected trees for a period of time. If the panel dries right down to ground level and shows no sign of recovery after rest, a new cut should be opened on the opposite side of the tree.

The problem of bark dryness can be cured and prevented by VITEX two in one formulation. Tree lace of brown bast tree is removed and  VITEX is directly applied along the groove with a brush. You will see results with your own eyes. Also application of VITEX is very helpful in normal trees to protect against bark dryness, overall healthiness of the tree and increased yield in general.

Maximizes Latex Yield
VITEX generates high level of latex production which increases the yield. It is advisable to tap the trees the day after the application. You can see the difference in the latex quantity flow even in about 4 hours of application of VITEX.

Unlike stimulants which are currently marketed in rubber industry to generate increase in the latex yield,  but apparently tests have proven that their Latex content is more watery and their dried rubber content becomes lower. The reason is very transparent. They simply stimulate the tree to absorb more water from the ground and this leads to latex becoming diluted (which means Dry Rubber Content (DRC) of latex produced using Stimulants is much less).

Whereas on applying VITEX it not only increases production of latex to about 2-3 times at the same time the Dry Rubber Content (DRC) increases approximately 38% or remains the same as before. Post application production will show approximately 38% higher or same amount of DRC / H2o composition as before.

Another major problem with other products is they merely increase the latex production to a certain extent but compromising on health and life of trees. Over-exploitation coupled with use of harmful chemicals which generate diseases and affect health of trees severely. VITEX acts differently by providing adequate nutrition to promote health of rubber trees so as to rejuvenate tree barks and to prolong tree life.

Today, VITEX has emerged as a miraculous boon to the rubber industry and it is emerging as a new generation product. It is widely tested, accepted, appreciated, through out local and global markets by key industry players.

1

Cures Bark Dryness.

Absorbs the water, which in turn affects the trees health & results in Bark Dryness.

     

2

Increases Dry Rubber Content (DRC) to Approx. 38%.

Decrease in DRC due to wateriness of the Latex produced.

     

3

Rejuvenates tree barks.

Deteriorates the tree barks further.

     

4

Lengthens life of the tree

Kills the trees life by sucking all the moisture to produce more Latex.

     

5

Increases the yield by generating
2 to 3 time of more latex

Increases the yield by 30% but due to less DRC, quality of Latex is poor.

     

6

Promotes overall health of the tree

Kills the trees life.

     

7

Cost effective

Cost effective for a short period. Since you have to re plant new trees due to their usage.
