The Rubber Board distributes plantation inputs through the Rubber Producers' Societies (RPS) at concessional rate to the small holders for the implementation of scientific agro-management practices and enhancement of productivity in their holdings. Copper oxychloride, spray oil, copper sulphate, rain guarding plastic and rain guarding compound are the estate inputs arranged for distribution. The inputs are available to the growers who have already given their requirements through the RPSs. The move is intended to help small holders for adoption of disease control and scientific tapping methods. The rate fixed for various inputs are copper oxychloride (Rs 267/kg), copper sulphate (Rs 111/kg), rainguarding plastic (Rs 78/kg), rainguarding compound (Rs 22/kg) and spray oil (Rs 42/l).
