Claim · model-written summary
The authors propose 4:30 a.m. tapping to mitigate yield loss linked to declining relative humidity.
Verbatim
e0“The tapping starting at 4.30 a.m. therefore appears as an alternative to reduce one of the harmful effects of climate change, namely the drop in relative humidity leading to a decrease in rubber yield”

- Intervention effect Tapping at 4:30 a.m. prolonged latex flow relative to 6:00 a.m.
- Intervention effect Tapping at 4:30 a.m. increased rubber yield by 20% relative to normal tapping.
- Intervention effect Earlier tapping had no negative effect on rubber tree physiological status.
