What is it about?
It shows potential spatial arrangements for planting rubber if perennial crops are to be planted with rubber

Why is it important?
This is the first ever successful study to demonstrate how rubber should be planted if perennial crops are to be intercropped with rubber. This introduced the double row planting system for rubber to promote long-term intercropping
Perspectives
We expect rubber growers who are interested in intercropping with perennial crops, would adopt the systems recommended.
